Unsweetened coconut flakes 2 cups
Raw almonds 1 cup
Raw cashews 1 cup
Shelled pistachios 1/2 cup
Pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup
Chia seeds 1/4 cup
Hemp hearts 1/4 cup
Melted coconut oil 1/4 cup
Pure maple syrup 1/4 cup
Matcha powder 1 tablespoon
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Pinch of sea salt to taste

Take note
Be careful not to over-toast the granola, as it can quickly go from golden brown to burnt. Keep an eye on it while it's in the oven to ensure it's toasted to perfection!

1

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 cup of raw almonds, 1 cup of raw cashews, 1/2 cup of shelled pistachios, 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, and 1/4 cup of hemp hearts. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

2

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of matcha powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until well combined and the matcha powder is fully dissolved.

3

Combine the Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Use your hands or a spatula to combine the two mixtures.

4

Spread the Mixture on a Baking Sheet

Transfer the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer. Make sure the granola is not piled too high to allow for even toasting.

5

Bake and Toast

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and toasted. Remember to stir the granola halfway through to ensure even toasting.

6

Cool and Store

Once the granola is toasted to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will allow it to become crunchy. Once cooled, transfer the granola into an airtight container for storage.
