This simple granola beats store-bought every single time. Not to mention, it's totally customizable and full of nutrient-dense ingredients.
- 1 cup cashews (unsalted)
- 1 cup almonds (unsalted)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds (unsalted)
- 2 tbsp flax seed (meal or whole)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all dry ingredients (nuts, coconut, flax, cinnamon, salt) into a large bowl. Mix all wet ingredients (maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla) into another bowl.
Pour the wet over the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
Pour mixture onto baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes. Toss the granola lightly and let bake for 5 more minutes. It should be golden and toasted (if not, go a few more minutes).
Let it sit for 15 minutes to cool down. It will also harden a bit during this time, which makes for the best bites! Enjoy right away or store in an air-tight jar for many weeks.
