Ingredients:

-2 cups blanched sliced almonds

-1 cup pecans

-1 cup chopped walnuts

-1 cup sunflower seeds

-1 cup shelled pumpkin seeds

-¼ cup sesame seeds

-¼ cup ground flax seed

-¾ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

-½ cup organic maple syrup

-6 tablespoons coconut oil

-1 teaspoon vanilla

-1 teaspoon cinnamon

-½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

    1.    Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

    2.       Combine all the nuts and seeds as well as the coconut in a large bowl.

    3.       Over low heat, combine maple syrup and coconut oil until heated through. (You can also heat the maple syrup and coconut oil in the microwave on high heat for 90 seconds.) Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

    4.       Pour over nut/seed mixture and mix well. Be sure scrape all the good syrup/oil mixture that's left in the bowl. Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet.

    5.       Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown (may take longer, depending on your oven), stirring every 15 minutes to keep granola at the edges of the pan from burning. Watch carefully after 30 minutes as ovens vary. Once the granola is a nice golden brown, remove it from oven and allow to cool.
