Equipment

Ingredients for Granola

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups organic oats (I used bobsredmill GF oats)
  • 1 cup pecans 
  • ½ pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes 
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds 
  • 1 tsp salt ½ tsp cinnamon 
  • Dried fruit (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil 
  • ¼ cup maple syrup 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the coconut oil and maple syrup until the coconut oil is fully melted. You can also microwave in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30-60 seconds. Add in the vanilla extract and stir to combine. 
  3. Grab a large bowl and add oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, chia seeds, salt and cinnamon. 
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl and mix everything together. 
  5. Spread mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 15 minutes. 
  6. Add in dried fruit if using and mix. 
  7. Once cooled, serve and enjoy! 

Note: Granola may be soft when first removed from the oven, it will get crunchy as it cools.
