1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the delicious ingredients you'll need for your grain-free granola clusters. You'll need: - 2 cups of nuts (such as almonds, cashews, or walnuts) - 1 cup of seeds (try a mix of chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds) - 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup - 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, melted - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon - A pinch of salt

2

Preheat the Oven

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, it's time to preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). This will ensure your granola clusters bake evenly and become delightfully crispy.

3

Mix it Up

In a large bowl, combine the nuts, seeds, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.

4

Form Clusters

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture evenly onto it. Use your hands or the back of a spoon to press down on the mixture to form clusters. Don't be afraid to get handsy, just make sure they're clean!

5

Bake and Cool

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the clusters turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent any burning mishaps! Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to harden as they cool down.
