Grain-Free Granola

This recipe is full of healthy fats, omega 3s and protein from plenty of nuts and seeds. And it’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Coconut oil helps it crisp up without influencing the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flake
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 cup raw walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1  tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 scant cup maple syrup
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut, nuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a small bowl, mix the liquid ingredients together, the coconut oil and maple syrup and pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove from oven, and stir
  • The coconut oil will help this granola crisp up nicely, but be sure to watch it carefully as it browns quickly.
  • Once the granola is visibly browned and done cooking (about 30 minutes total for me), remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Store in a container with an air-tight seal, and it should keep for a few weeks.
