I took a jar of this goodness over to my sister-in-law Meredith and she called me on my way home asking for the recipe! It’s so good and extremely easy and VERY versatile.

Can I tell you some good news? It really is pretty hard to ruin granola. Use any nut you like. Use muesli or oats. Craisins or raisins. Be free, go wild! I will say, DON’T LEAVE OUT THE GINGER! It adds the most amazing flavor and spice.

YOU WILL NEED:

DRY INGREDIENTS

• 3.5 c old-fashioned oats or muesli
• 1/3 c chopped pecan
• 1/3 c chopped almonds (I used the sliced kind from @traderjoes)
• 1/3 c chopped walnuts
• 1/3 c raw pumpkin seeds (optional)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbs chia seeds (optional)
• 2 tbs hemp hearts (optional)
• 1/4 c organic raisins (omit this if you use muesli since muesli contains raisins)
• 1/2 c to 1 c shredded coconut (optional but we LOVE it!)

WET INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 c melted coconut oil
• 1 tbs honey
• 1 tbs molasses (if you don’t have molasses, just double the honey)
• 1 tbs maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla

TO MAKE:

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl
2. Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir well
4. Lay out in a single layer on a parchment paper lined large baking sheet, the biggest sheet you’ve got! If you don’t have a large sheet pan, I suggest splitting this between 2 pans. Maybe rotate them halfway through as to which one is on top and which is on the bottom.
5. Bake at 275 for 1 hour (if you know you’ve got an especially hot oven, cook at 250)
6. Remove and let cool thoroughly (the mix will look very wet; allow ample time to cool/dry)
7. Store in an airtight container and enjoy for weeks!!

Let me know if you make this! Hope you enjoy.
