Ingredients

1/2 cup Unsalted butter ((1 stick)(or coconut oil))
1/3 cup Maple syrup ((can use up to 1/2 cup))
1 tbsp Peanut butter ((or any nut/seed butter))
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 cups Raw buckwheat groats
2 cups Raw sunflower seeds
2 cups Hemp seeds
1.5 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Sea salt
1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
In a small pot over low-medium heat add the butter and allow it to melt. Once it has fully melted, stir in the maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine, and set aside.
In a 9"x13" glass baking dish, combine the buckwheat, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon and sea salt. Pour the butter mixture in and stir to fully coat the dry ingredients.
Bake for 20 minutes, stir the granola, then bake another 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the granola. It should be less wet and beginning to get a golden color around the edges. Stir in the shredded coconut and bake for 5 more minutes.
After 5 minutes remove from the oven and allow to fully cool before storing in an air tight container at room tempterature.

Ingredients

3/4 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds ((pepitas))
1/2 cup raw pecans
1 cup raw walnuts
1 cup unsweetened coconut (desiccated, shredded or flakes)
1 cup hemp hearts (or hemp seeds)
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Medjool dates

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250°F. Place almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans and walnuts into a food processor and pulse a few times to chop the nuts and seeds into smaller pieces. Don't process too much because you still want some chunky pieces.
Transfer the nut mixture into a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients except the dates and stir well. Spread an even layer of the mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet. You may need two sheets if you're baking sheets aren't oversized like mine.
Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven, add dates and give the mix a good stir. Bake for 25-30 minutes more or until granola is golden brown in color. Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy. It will get crunchier as it cools. I recommend storing any leftovers in a Mason/Weck jar in the fridge. It will stay extra crunchy this way.

Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 1/2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup pepitas)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you're using standard table salt, scale back to 3/4 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use organic, non-GMO hemp seeds and other wholesome ingredients to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference: If you prefer a less sweet granola, reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup in the recipe.
Customize the flavors: Feel free to add your favorite spices, extracts, or dried fruits to create a unique flavor combination.
Toast the granola properly: Keep a close eye on the granola while baking to prevent burning. Stir it frequently to ensure even browning.
Let the granola cool completely: Allow the granola to cool completely before storing it to prevent clumping.
