Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats ideally organic
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup almonds chopped
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Stir together the wet ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Coat everything evenly. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
  • Bake low and slow. Spread the mixture into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet or baking dish. Bake for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is lightly golden and dry.
  • Let it cool completely. Leave the granola to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • Store it. Transfer to an airtight container or glass jar. Store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

Ash's Tips

  • Spread it evenly. A thin, even layer helps the granola dry out and crisp up properly.
  • Let it cool completely before storing. The granola will crisp up as it cools, so don't worry if it seems slightly soft when it comes out of the oven.
  • For larger granola clusters, press the granola firmly into the pan using the back of a measuring cup before baking and avoid stirring more than once.
