  • Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

– 2/3 cup maple syrup

– 1/3 cup coconut oil (or another type of oil)

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt (use 1/2 teaspoon if using table salt)

– 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

– 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds

– 2/3 cup large coconut flakes (or 1/2 cup shredded coconut, or omit if preferred)

– 1/2 cup chopped pecans

– 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions

1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) and line an 18 x 13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

2-Warm ingredients: In a small saucepan, warm the maple syrup, coconut oil, sea salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until the coconut oil is melted, but do not let it simmer. Whisk to combine and remove from heat.

3-Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, coconut flakes, pecans, and sunflower seeds. Pour the warmed maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and gently toss until evenly mixed.

4-Spread granola: Spread the granola evenly on the lined baking sheet and press down gently with a spatula to compact it.

5-Bake granola: Bake for 25 minutes, then rotate the pan 180 degrees without stirring and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the granola is lightly golden on top.

6-Cool granola: Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the granola cool completely to allow it to harden.

7-Break and serve: Once cooled, break the granola into clusters of desired size and serve. For more tips on baking, visit our easy homemade muffin recipe to explore similar techniques.
