Seed, Nut, and Sour Cherry Granola
Ingredients
- ½ cup pecans halved
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds shelled
- ½ cup almonds chopped
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup hemp seeds
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup dried sour cherries
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp salt
Directions
- Heat the oven to 320° F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the ingredients evenly across the pan into an even sheet.

- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let cool completely. Serve immediately or store in covered glass jars.
Notes
All the nuts and seeds in this protein-packed granola give it so much body that you don't need oats to hold it together. And the tart cherries give a burst of sour and sweetness that cuts the fat of the nuts and coconut oil.
