coconut maple almond granola [grain free]

› 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped

› 1/2 cup cashews, roughly chopped

› 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, chopped

› 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped

› 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

› 1/2 cup flaxseed meal

› 1/4 egg white protein powder

› 1/4 cup maple syrup

› 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

› 3 tbsp water

› 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

› 1/2 tsp almond extract

› coconut sugar, to sprinkle

set oven to 350F.
roughly chop almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, walnuts.
place the following in a bowl: almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, walnuts, coconut, flaxseed meal, egg white protein powder.
melt coconut oil, & combine with maple syrup, water, vanilla + almond extracts.
in a parchment-lined pan, pour the mixture & push into pan; so when it cooks, it cooks together!
place in oven for 15 min on 350F, then turn pan. bake for 15 more min, then remove from oven.
allow to cool for a few minutes, until its warm but cooled enough to handle. break apart into pieces, flip + toss.
place back into oven for 10 min to allow it to get crunchy!
[ baking goes like this ~ 15 min, rotate, 15 min, cool + break up, 10 min, done!]
once it comes out of the oven, sprinkle coconut sugar right on top while it’s hot! some of it will stick to the granola & give some extra sweetness.
store in container in fridge for ~2 weeks if it lasts that long!
