COCONUT FLAKES: Coconut flakes add a little sweetness.

PECANS: Loaded with vitamins and minerals, pecans add a pop of crunch to the granola.

CHIA SEEDS: Chia seeds are packed with antioxidants and have become known as a super food. Additionally, these seeds help bind the granola together.

FLAX SEEDS: Flax seeds have a myriad of health benefits. They’re a popular super food.

MAPLE SYRUP: Maple syrup is a common Paleo liquid sweetener. In this case, its sticky nature helps create those sought after chunks of granola.

VANILLA EXTRACT: The vanilla extract adds just enough flavor!

COCONUT OIL: Use refined coconut oil for no flavor, or unrefined for a slight coconut flavor. In addition, use room temperature coconut for this recipe.

CINNAMON: A little bit of cinnamon goes a long way in flavoring this granola.

SEA SALT: Totally optional. If many of the nuts you use are already salted, feel free to skip.
