Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups of assorted nuts
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup of dried fruit (dates, raisins, etc.)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. sea salt

Instruction

  • Soak the nuts overnight in warm water with salt.
  • Drain the nuts and rinse them well in a colander.
  • Place the nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the nuts in a preheated oven at 150 F. for 10 to 12 hours.
  • Cool the nuts completely before using them.
  • Roughly chop half the nuts using a rolling pin or a knife.
  • Place the other half of the nuts in a food processor and pulse until you get a soft powder (it will almost be pasty.)
  • In a small saucepan placed over medium-low heat, add the coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Heat until bubbles start to form, and then remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, mix the chopped nuts, ground nuts, dried fruit, and almond butter mixture until everything is well combined.
  • Pour the nut mixture into a dish covered with parchment paper and firmly pack the granola mixture tightly, making a single clean layer.
  • Cover with another piece of parchment paper and let sit for 1 or 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Place in the freezer for another hour.
  • Slice the granola into equal rectangular pieces and serve. Keep the leftovers in the refrigerator.
