Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg white

- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pure almond extract

- 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup raw almonds or sliced almonds or pecans
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup dried fruit
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the egg white in a bowl until frothy, or prepare a flax 'egg' for a vegan version.
- Chop the almonds and walnuts coarsely using a food processor or a knife.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, oats, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract, then pour it into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients along with the egg white or flax 'egg.' Mix everything well.
- Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press down into an even layer.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown. Allow the granola to sit for one hour to set and create clusters. Mix in the dried fruit once cooled.
- Store the granola in a zip lock bag or jar for up to 10 days.
Notes
For a nut-free version, skip the nuts or substitute with seeds.
