Granola (paleo)
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup crumbled plantain chips (or substitute with dried fruit and/or shredded coconut)
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup raw honey
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
​​​
1. Preheat oven to 300º F
2. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients: nuts, seeds, plantain chips, cranberries, shredded coconut, pumpkin pie spice and salt
3. Line a large baking sheet or pan with parchment paper (a 10" X 15" pan seemed to be the perfect size)
4. In a small sauce pan on low heat, add the coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and vanilla and stir just until melted and warm
5. Pour the mixture over all the dry ingredients in the large bowl and mix well. I just used my hands
6. Spread the sticky granola across the parchment-lined pan to form an even layer
7. Bake about 25 minutes. You just want a nice golden-brown color on top. Don't overdo it, the granola will burn on the bottom – remove the pan sooner rather than later! (Cooking times and temperatures will vary – check granola often toward the end of the cooking time)
8. Remove from oven and let cool completely
9. Break apart in clumps and seal in an airtight container
