- 4 cups certified gluten-free oats or old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup nuts— pecans or raw almonds work great
- 1/2 cup raw pepitas, or pumpkin seeds
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (minus salt) oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, combine all the wet ingredients, plus salt. Add melted coconut oil, salt, maple syrup and vanilla extract. I like to mix the salt in here because it dissolves and then you won't get any salty areas in your granola because it's evenly dispersed!
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to coat.
Pour onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet or silicone baking mat and press down with your spatula to create an even single layer. Baking time: Bake for 12 minutes. Stir and press down with your spatula again and bake another 10-12 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool granola without stirring for at least 45 minutes. Once it's completely cooled, you can break granola into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Serve on it's own, over your morning yogurt or with milk!
