- 1/2 cups sunflower seeds, shelled
- 1/2 cups coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 1/2 cups maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method
Step 1
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Add syrup and extra virgin olive oil to a small bowl and stir until well combined. Add to dry ingredients and stir with a large wooden spoon until coated well.
Step 3
Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper (easy to roll it up in the foil and pour into a container). If using foil, lightly grease it.
Step 4
Bake at 325 degrees for about 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add on ideas after granola is cooled: goji berries, freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries, any dried fruit, or dark chocolate chips.
