Take note
Before we dive into the customizable fun, let's go over a few warnings. Make sure to keep an eye on your mix as it bakes, as it can burn easily. Also, be careful not to eat all of your tasty ingredients before they make it into the mix. I know, they're tempting!

1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, gather all your favorite grain-free ingredients. Nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are the stars of this show. Almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, dried cranberries, and goji berries are just a few examples. The choice is yours!

2

Mix It Up

Once you have your ingredients all set, grab a large mixing bowl. Add in your desired quantities of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Mix them all together until they're well combined. Feel free to get creative and throw in some spices like cinnamon or vanilla for an extra flavor boost!

3

Get Saucy

To bring everything together, you'll need a tasty sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together some coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. This will create a deliciously sweet and slightly sticky coating that will make your granola extra addictive!

4

Bake 'n Crunch

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your granola mixture in an even layer. Pop it into the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Don't forget to give it a stir halfway through to ensure even baking!

5

Cool Down & Store

Once your homemade granola is beautifully toasted and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. This will allow it to become extra crispy. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container or jar. It should stay fresh for a couple of weeks, but let's be honest, it's going to be hard to resist!
