Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. 
  • Place melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir to combine. 
  • Add rolled oats and stir until oats are well coated. 
  • Add crushed pecan nuts, crushed almonds, shredded coconut, flaked coconut and pumpkin seeds. Stir to combine. 
  •  Place granola in the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly. 
  • Bake it for 20 to 25 minutes or until granola is golden brown and crunchy. 
  • Store it in a jar with a lid for up to 2 weeks. 

Notes

Use parchment paper: Makes cleanup fast and prevents sticking.
Don’t overbake: Granola crisps as it cools, so pull it before it gets too dark.
Use the lowest oven rack: This means your granola is closer to the heating element so it will crisp up even faster.
Press for clusters: When you add the granola mixture to the parchment paper lined tray, really press it down. This makes the ingredients stick together better and will result in nice chunky clusters.
