Total Time 35

Servings 1/2 cups granola

Ingredients

½ cup mixed nuts: pecans almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
¼ cup seeds: pepitas sunflower
2 tablespoons walnut or melted coconut oil see note
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup maple syrup or honey
pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325˚F and cover a sheet tray with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine ingredients for the granola and pulse a few times to break down the nuts and coconut flakes.
Spread onto the sheet tray and press down firmly into a rectangle. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, rotating the tray once halfway through. The granola should be golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Break the granola into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Tips + Tricks: I love walnut oil but only if I can find oil that is okay with higher heat. If you can't find this, coconut oil is the next best item.

For this particular version, I used: Pecans, Almonds, Hazelnuts, and sunflower seeds with walnut oil and brown rice syrup.
