Pumpkin Seed Granola (Grain-Free!)
This grain-free Pumpkin Seed Granola blends pumpkin seeds, shredded unsweetened coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon bound together with pure maple syrup. Baked at a low temperature, the mixture dries to a crunchy, lightly golden cluster. The granola carries nutty, warm spice flavors and provides a wholesome texture from the combination of seeds and coconut.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup coconut shredded, unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl, and stir well to combine.
- Add in the maple syrup, and stir again until all of the ingredients have been coated. This will help everything stick together, but the mixture won't look very wet.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, and spread it out into a flat, even layer. Bake at 300ºF for 25 minutes, or until the granola looks lightly golden.
- Let the granola cool completely. It will firm up as it cools, and then you can break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container. This will last for up to a week when stored at room temperature, or you can store it for up to a month in the fridge. (You can probably freeze it for up to 3 months, too, if you want to make a larger batch.)
- Serve with almond milk and sliced bananas, or any other toppings you like!

Notes
- Any nuts or seeds can replace those listed; chop large nuts into smaller pieces to help clusters hold together.
