INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325⁰F, and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Combine maple syrup or honey, nut/seed butter and coconut oil in a pot on medium heat. Stir frequently, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to avoid burning. Once the mixture is homogeneous and runny, add vanilla and salt. Remove from heat.
Place the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the melted nut butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until well distributed.
Spread granola evenly over the baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly golden on the edges.
Allow to fully cool before storing in an airtight container for up to one week.
