Equipment

  • food dehydrator

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw walnuts about 4 cups
  • 1 pound raw brazil nuts about 3 cups
  • 1 pound raw sunflower seeds about 4 cups
  • 3 tablespoons sea salt for soaking
  • 3 cups unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1 cup avocado oil melted butter or coconut oil works too
  • 3/4 cup - 1 cup pure maple syrup raw honey works too
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 2-3 cups dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Put the walnuts, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and salt in a large mixing bowl, add water to cover, and combine well. Set the bowl in a warm spot in your kitchen for 8 hours (I put everything in first thing in the morning, then after dinner get it all in the dehydrator to run overnight).
  • After the nuts/seeds soak, put them in a strainer to drain excess water. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just get what you can off.
  • Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients in the large mixing bowl, add the strained nuts/seeds, and combine.
  • Spread out on your dehydrator trays and dry over night about 12 hours at 125-135º F. Break up the dried out granola, and store in air tight containers.
