There’s no need to incorporate tons of sugar when granola can be made with cinnamon, coconut, and nuts. This granola is a gluten-free option that’s delicious!
Pour the coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts into a food processor. Pulse 6-8 times until the coconut and nuts begin to break into smaller pieces. Pour the contents into a large bowl. Add the chia seeds, flax meal, 2 tsp cinnamon, vanilla powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
7 oz raw coconut flakes, 1 cup pumpkin seeds, 1 cup cashews, 1 cup raw walnuts, 1 cup raw pecans, ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup ground flax meal, 2 ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)
In a measuring glass, whisk the warm water and honey until the honey dissolves. Pour over the granola mixture and stir until the ingredients are evenly moistened.
⅓ cup warm water, ½ cup honey
Spread out in an even layer on one parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and toasted.
Remove from the oven and cool. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ tsp cinnamon. While the granola is warm, it will seem soft and as it dries it will become crisp, 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container to keep fresh.
