Hemp Granola
Description
This Hemp Granola recipe begins by coarsely chopping raw nuts and seeds in a food processor, maintaining some chunky bits for texture. The mixture is then combined with shredded coconut, hemp hearts, chia seeds, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, which create a lightly spiced and sweet base. The granola is spread evenly on parchment paper and baked at a low temperature for a longer time, allowing gentle toasting without burning.
After an initial baking period, chopped Medjool dates are stirred into the granola and baked again until golden brown. The dates provide chewy sweetness contrasting the crunchy granola. Cooling enhances the crispness of the cluster-like mix.
This granola is suitable for breakfast or snacks and can be stored refrigerated to maintain its crunch. The recipe does not indicate additional flavorings or substitutions but emphasizes the use of raw nuts and seeds for best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond raw
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds pepitas, raw
- 1/2 cup pecans raw
- 1 cup walnut raw
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut desiccated, shredded or flakes
- 1 cup hemp hearts or hemp seeds
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup Medjool dates pitted and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Place almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans and walnuts into a food processor and pulse a few times to chop the nuts and seeds into smaller pieces. Don't process too much because you still want some chunky pieces.
- Transfer the nut mixture into a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients except the dates and stir well. Spread an even layer of the mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet. You may need two sheets if you’re baking sheets aren’t oversized like mine.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven, add dates and give the mix a good stir. Bake for 25-30 minutes more or until granola is golden brown in color. Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy. It will get crunchier as it cools. I recommend storing any leftovers in a Mason/Weck jar in the fridge. It will stay extra crunchy this way.
