Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 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 until frothy, or prepare a flax 'egg' by mixing ground flax seed and water in a bowl and letting it thicken for about 10 minutes.
- Coarsely chop the walnuts and almonds using a food processor or chef's knife.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, oats, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract. Add to the dry mixture along with the egg mixture and stir until combined.
- Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and press down to form an even layer.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until golden-brown around the edges. Let it cool for one hour to set and form clusters, then mix in the dried fruit.
- Store in a zip lock bag or jar for up to 10 days, and serve with yogurt or milk.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute the egg white with a flax ‘egg’.
Store your granola in an airtight container for maximum freshness.
