Dry Ingredients
  • 4 cups certified gluten-free oats or old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup nuts—pecans or raw almonds Choose your favorite variety.
  • 1/2 cup raw pepitas, or pumpkin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients (excluding the salt): oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and cinnamon. Stir them together well.
  3. In a small bowl, combine all the wet ingredients plus the salt. Add the melted coconut oil, salt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet or a silicone baking mat. Press it down gently with a spatula to make an even layer.
  2. Bake for 12 minutes. Stir the mixture, press it down again, and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
  3. When it’s done, take it out and let it cool without stirring for at least 45 minutes. Once completely cooled, break it into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store your Healthy Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Experiment with different nuts and seeds based on your preference. Use spices like nutmeg or vanilla for added flavor.
