- 1 cup nuts and/or seeds pecans, walnuts, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

- 1/3 cup avocado or coconut oil
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 2 tsp vanilla

- 1/2 cup dried fruit added after baking
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and mix.
- In a small bowl or in a glass measuring cup, add the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir together to coat it well.
- Spread granola on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Bake at 300 degrees F for 45 minutes. Halfway through, stir the granola. The granola should just start to toast.
- Start checking the granola at 35 minutes for doneness. If not done at 35 minutes, bake for an additional 5 minutes at a time, stirring frequently. Granola burns easily. Make sure the largest pieces are baked through. Let cool.
- Stir in dried fruit, if using. Store in an airtight glass container.
Notes
To reduce phytic acid (this makes the nutrients more available to the body), let the wet granola mixture sit on the counter at room temperature for 6-8 hours before baking. The unbaked granola mixture can also be refrigerated for up to three days and baked at your convenience.
