Gather your ingredients

To create your sweet and savory maple bacon grain-free granola, you'll need the following ingredients: - 2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes - 1 cup of mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pecans), roughly chopped - 1 cup of crispy cooked bacon, crumbled - 1/4 cup of coconut oil, melted - 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt - Optional: 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (make sure they are grain-free)

2

Preheat your oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This will ensure that your granola bakes evenly and becomes nice and crispy.

3

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes, mixed nuts, and crispy bacon. Give them a good toss to evenly distribute all the flavors.

4

Add the wet ingredients

In a separate small bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.

5

Bake to perfection

Spread the mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the granola turns golden brown. Make sure to stir it occasionally to prevent burning.

Add the final touch

Once your granola has cooled, you can optionally sprinkle in some grain-free dark chocolate chips for an extra indulgence. Give it a final mix to incorporate the chocolate chips.
