1

Gather the Goodness

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup of pumpkin seeds, and ½ cup of sunflower seeds.

2

Maple Magic

Drizzle ½ cup of pure maple syrup over the nut and seed mixture. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Give everything a good stir until well coated.

3

Into the Oven

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.

4

Cool and Crunch

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. As it cools, it will harden and become delightfully crunchy. Break it into clusters of deliciousness and store in an airtight container.
