Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup coconut
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300℉.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, pecans, coconut, brown sugar, flax seed, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir and set aside.
  • In medium bowl, combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg white, and vanilla. Whisk ingredients until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix with spatula until just moistened.
  • Spread granola mixture onto baking sheet and even it out into a thin layer with rubber spatula.
  • Bake at 300℉ for 45 minutes, making sure not to stir granola while it is baking. This would prevent large clusters from forming. Let granola cool completely and then break clusters apart.
  • Store in airtight container up to 1 week.
