Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds raw
  • 1 cup pepita seeds raw
  • 1 cup walnuts raw
  • 1 cup pecans raw
  • 1 cup sliced almonds raw
  • 5 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 Tbsp ground cardamom
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (added in last 15 minutes of cooking)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine all wet ingredients in a small pot, and bring to a boil on the stovetop. Turn heat to medium and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, combine all dry ingredients (except coconut flakes) in a large mixing bowl.
  • Once sugar is dissolved, pour hot liquid over dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. When the dry mixture is evenly coated, spread granola mixture between your two parchment-lined baking trays.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 275F, rotating pans 180 degrees after 30 minutes. Add coconut flakes in the last 15 minutes of baking to ensure they don’t get too toasty.
  • Cool completely before storing granola in an airtight container.
