Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl : for tossing all that crunchy magic
- 1 Baking Sheet : to spread out your granola evenly
- Parchment Paper : makes cleanup a breeze
- 1 Spatula : for stirring and flipping mid-bake
- Airtight Container : to store your golden clusters
Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup almonds roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey or sugar-free syrup for keto
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 egg white for extra clusters
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl — nuts, seeds, coconut, chia, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, sweetener of choice, vanilla, and optional egg white.
- Pour wet into dry and mix until everything is lightly coated and shiny.
- Spread mixture evenly on prepared baking sheet in a thin layer. Press gently with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn!
- Cool completely before breaking into clusters. Granola will crisp up as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer shelf life.
Notes
- For keto: Use monk fruit syrup and skip any dried fruit.
- For extra crunch: Use egg white and don’t stir while baking.
- Want a chocolate version? Add cocoa powder to the dry mix and chocolate chips after baking!
- Make it savory: skip the sweetener, add herbs, salt, and spices like smoked paprika or cumin.
