Method

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Add the almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds and shredded coconut in a food processor for blender and pulse a few times to break into small chunks.
  •  Place the coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-high heat and allow to melt. Stir, then add the nut mixture and stir until the everything is fully coated.
  • Spread the granola evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring once or twice. Remove from the oven, add the raisins and sprinkle with sea salt, pressing the mixture together firmly to form a tight, flat surface.
  • Allow to cool for about 20-30 minutes or until fully hardened, and then break into chunks. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
