This grain free granola is one of my absolute favorite things to keep in the pantry for busy mornings. It has such a wonderful nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch that makes it feel like a real treat even though it is packed with wholesome ingredients.

I love serving this with a bit of Greek yogurt or a splash of almond milk. A quick tip is to let the granola cool down completely on the baking sheet before you try to move it, as this helps those delicious clumps hold together perfectly.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw pecans
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Roughly chop the pecans, almonds, and walnuts so they are bite sized.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine all the chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.

  5. 5

    Pour the liquid mixture over the nuts and seeds and stir until everything is well coated.

  6. 6

    Spread the mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.

  8. 8

    Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on the counter before serving so it gets nice and crunchy.

💡 Tips

Store your cooled granola in an airtight container in the pantry for up to two weeks. If you want to add some extra flavor, stir in a handful of dried cranberries or coconut flakes after the granola has fully cooled.
