Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place your pecans, cashews, coconut, hemp seeds, flax seeds, coconut sugar, and cacao powder in a bowl. If your nuts are already chopped, then you’re good to go. If they’re not, you may want to blitz them in a food processor or blender for a couple seconds to get them to be a good size. I tend to like mine a but more big and chunky.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk the ghee (coconut oil or butter also works), peanut butter, and agave nectar.
- Once the sauce is combined and thickened a bit, about 2 minutes, remove from heat and pour over the nut and seed mixture.
- Fold the peanut sauce into the nut and seed mixture until everything is completely coated.
- Spread the granola out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don’t worry if it’s a bit clumpy, those will end up being your delicious clusters!!
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Use a spatula to gently toss the granola and bake for another 7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before you sprinkle with additional sea salt and chocolate chunks.
