Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Sliced almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon powder, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil until the coconut oil is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon or spatula until the dry mixture is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
