Homemade Granola

Ingredients

·      1 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

·      1 cup raw sunflower seeds (not in shells)

·      1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

·      1 cup sliced almonds

·      2 cups chopped pecans

·      20 dates, chopped finely

·      1/3 cup coconut oil

·      2 teaspoons cinnamon

·      3 teaspoons vanilla

·      dash of salt (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
3. Melt the coconut oil and pour it in a small bowl. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and salt (if none of the nuts are salted, I recommend a dash of salt). Stir well.
4. Pour the oil mixture over the dry mixture and stir to combine and evenly coat.
5. Spread the granola on a baking sheet* and bake for 20 minutes. Stir, then bake an additional 5 minutes.
6. Allow the granola to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container.
