ingredients
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients (oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds).
Step 3
Add oil and maple syrup to your dry ingredients, then thoroughly mix, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Step 4
Divide granola into the center of each baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven for a quick mix. Using a spatula, mix the granola on the baking sheet and then re-spread into an even layer. Place granola back into the oven and bake for another 13 minutes.
Step 5
Remove granola from oven and cool for 30-45 minutes. Using your hands, break granola into small clusters, and enjoy!
