2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) Shop
1 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds) Shop
0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Shop
0.5 cup maple syrup Shop
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted Shop
1 tsp cinnamon Shop
0.5 tsp vanilla extract Shop
0.25 tsp salt

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the mixed nuts, seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
2 In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. This mixture will form the flavorful coating for your granola.
3 Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together with a spatula or your hands until the nuts, seeds, and coconut are thoroughly coated. Ensure no dry pockets remain.
4 Spread the coated mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to overbake, as it can burn quickly.
5 Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet. As it cools, it will become wonderfully crisp and crunchy. Once cooled, break up any large clumps and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Tips & Notes

Chop the larger nuts roughly so the oat-free granola bakes evenly.
Don't stir the granola while it cools if you want big clusters.
Watch the coconut closely in the last few minutes. It browns much faster than the nuts.
