Small Batch Grain Free Granola made with mixed nuts, coconut oil, honey and various seeds.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup raw mixed nuts almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, hazelnuts
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted raw sunflower seeds
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup or 1 of each
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- Dried fruit of your choice I like using dried cranberries or a dried tropical fruit mix.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
- Place 1 cup of the raw mixed nuts in a mini chopper or food processor and chop so that you have some ground bits and small pieces. Put the mixture in a bowl. Throw in the remaining ¼ cup whole nuts, seeds and coconut flakes.
- Heat the coconut oil and honey (or honey and maple) together in medium size saucepan set over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and pour over nut mixture. Add the vanilla and sea salt and stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly on the lined baking sheet and bake without stirring for about 25 minutes (check at 20). Remove from the oven and let cool.
- At this point it might not seem done and will appear kind of wet. Let it cool completely. It will solidify more as it cools, but it won't get completely crispy.
- Break it into pieces and add dried fruit.
