Chunky Grain Free Granola
Switch up your usual granola routine with this delicious vegan chunky grain free granola recipe which is great on top of a smoothie bowl for a healthy breakfast. This recipe was born from my craving for granola which happened to hit me at a time when we were out of oats. In their place, you'll find sunflower seeds, coconut, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 3/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9"x11" baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all of your ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until it starts to brown. (Start checking on it at minute 17 or 18 as it can brown too quickly.)
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Break into large chunks and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can use olive oil or vegetable oil in place of coconut oil, but granola will not crisp/cluster as well.
- Store in an air-tight container. Can keep up to 3 weeks after making.
