1

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds, and 1/4 cup of chia seeds. Give it a gentle stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Prepare the pumpkin spice mixture

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

3

Bake to golden perfection

Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through. Keep a watchful eye to prevent any burnt surprises!

Cool and enjoy

Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, as it will become crispier as it cools. Once cooled, you can break it into delightful clusters or leave it as is. Store it in an airtight container and enjoy it with your favorite yogurt, milk, or as a standalone snack!
