Servings 12
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp maca powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3-4 Tbsp honey (depending on desired sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F
- In a large bowl, toss together all dry ingredients (oats through salt).
- In a separate small bowl, mix together oil, honey, and vanilla extract, then toss with dry ingredients until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour granola into an even layer. Bake for 12 minutes.
- When done baking, let granola cool completely.* Once cooled, break granola into chunks, and transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
*If you prefer large chunks, put the baking sheet of cooked granola in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before breaking the granola apart. The coconut oil will harden, allowing you to break the granola into larger pieces.
