Toasted Coconut Granola

Erin Pellegrin, RD, LDN
Granola is a pantry staple in our house. In fact, I was buying it so much that inevitably I decided to start making it myself. In my many recipe trials, I fell in love with this one.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 C Old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 C Raw pumpkin seeds hulled
  • 1 C Raw sunflower seeds hulled
  • 2 C Coconut flakes
  • 1 1/4 C Raw pecans coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 C Pure maple syrup preferably Grade A
  • 1/2 C Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 C Packed light brown sugar
  • Coarse or flaked salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Place oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, pecans, syrup, olive oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spread granola mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until granola is toasted, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove granola from oven and season with salt. Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
