Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispy.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Step 9

Serve the granola with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own.
