Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 cup raw sunflower seeds (unsalted, not in shells)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (unsalted)
  • 2 cups Chopped Pecans (unsalted)
  • 20 pitted dates (chopped finely)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • dash of salt* (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  3. Melt the coconut oil and pour it in a small bowl. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and salt (if none of the nuts are salted, I recommend a dash of salt). Stir well.
  4. Pour the oil mixture over the dry mixture and stir to combine and evenly coat.
  5. Spread the granola on a baking sheet* and bake for 20 minutes. Stir, then bake an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Allow the granola to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container.
  7. This recipe makes about 7 cups of granola.

Notes

  • *If any of the nuts or seeds you buy are salted, you will not want to add additional salt. Add salt to taste if the ingredients are unsalted.
