Ingredients

  • 3 cups organic rolled oats , not quick cooking
  • 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 cup pepitas
  • 1 cup sunflower or sesame seeds
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a very large mixing bowl, toss the granola ingredients through the salt, until well combined.
  • In a glass bowl or pitcher, combine the coconut oil and maple syrup, then pour over the dry ingredients and stir until coated. Pour the granola onto a 1/2 sheet pan, coated with cooking spray (I use coconut oil spray here). The sheet pan will be full, but not overflowing. This will allow for even cooking and clusters to form.
  • Cook on middle rack for 22-25 minutes, until the edges are toasted and the entire pan is golden. Leave the sheet pan to cool on a safe surface until completely at room temperature.
  • When fully cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

It's important to let the granola cool on the pans fully so that it forms clusters and clumps, which are the best part for snacking.  Also - all the ingredients are open for substitution - 2 cups of nuts (any kind) and 2 cups of seeds (any kind) are the only things to consider.  If you don't like coconut (sorry if you don't, your loss) you can just add another cup 0f nut/seed mix.
