Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup pepitas
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, pepitas, flaxseed, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until mixture is well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Use a spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the granola down in an even layer. You want the granola to be pressed together so it will form clusters after cooling.
- Bake for 23 to 28 minutes or until granola is slightly golden brown. DO NOT STIR, but make sure you rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan without stirring. Do not touch it while it cools.
- Once it is cool, you can break the granola into clusters and enjoy!
