- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup pepitas
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, the good kind
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

- Preheat oven to 300. Place oats, seeds, almonds, pepitas, chia seeds in a large bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour over the granola and mix very well.
- Place the granola mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet (may have to use more than one sheet)and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Toss the minute every 10-15 minutes to prevent hot spots and burning.
