Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Raw Pumpkin Seeds

  • ½ Cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
  • ⅓ Cup Honey (can sub maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300F.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds until chopped.
  3. Transfer chopped seeds to a large bowl, and stir in hemp seeds coconut and cinnamon. Stir until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Add coconut oil mixture to the seed mixture and mix well. It should form a sticky granola consistency.
  6. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet, and spread into an even flat layer.
  7. Bake for 20-23 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn! Remove from oven and allow it to cool to room temperature (it will get crunchier as it cools).

  9. Store in a sealed container for up to one week.
