Servings: 20 1/4 cup servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 cup raw walnut pieces
  • 1/2 cup raw slivered or sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons raw hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup dates chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes unsweetened, untoasted
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice or cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond butter salted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and position your oven rack to be in the center.
  • Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. For a finer texture pulse in a food processor until combined.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread out granola mixture in a thin layer. It's ok to leave small clusters (that's the best part!).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning mixture once or twice.
  • It will look somewhat underbaked when it comes out of the oven, but will harden as it cools.* If you like a crispier granola leave it in closer to the 20 minute mark or longer to your preference. Be careful though, as it can burn quickly.
  • Let mixture cool completely before enjoying.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a few weeks.
