Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup pecan pieces
4 cups gluten free sprouted quick oats
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

To Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat coconut oil until melted, then mix with the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour this over the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Mix together until well combined and spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press down on the mixture so it forms kind of a “sheet” that is about 1/4 inch thick (not more that 1/2 inch thick).
Bake 20 minutes at 350°F.
Remove from oven and allow to cool and set. If using chocolate chips, press them into the still-warm granola.
When cool, break into smaller pieces.

Prep Tips:

- Nut-Free Version - To make a nut-free granola, all you have to do is omit the nuts from the recipe. You can replace them with another ingredient(s) that you like, such as extra pumpkin seeds.
- Vegan Recipe - To make a vegan granola, use extra maple syrup or agave nectar in place of the honey
- Chocolate Chips - If you want a sweeter granola, press 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top of the baked granola, while it is still a little bit warm. Do not bake the chocolate chips because they will melt.
- Substitutions - If you don't care for raisins, you can substitute with another type of dried fruit. Dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries, and apricots are all fantastic and can switch up the flavor of this recipe. Feel free to use any type of mixed nuts or one particular kind of nuts that you like. Our mix was walnuts, hazelnuts and cashews. However, you could also try pistachios, almonds, or pecans.
