Instructions
Preheat oven to 250°F (low and slow = golden brown crunchy granola!)
Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine nuts, seeds, oats (if using), coconut, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
Add wet ingredients. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, and egg white (if using) until everything is fully coated.
Spread on a baking sheet. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and press granola into an even layer.
Bake for 30–45 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even baking.
Cool completely before breaking into clusters and transferring to an airtight container.
Notes
Tips & tricks for the best granola:
For big clusters, press the granola down firmly before baking and avoid stirring mid-bake.
If you want to make this paleo-friendly, simply omit the peanuts.
Adding egg whites to granola helps it stick together and form crispier, crunchier pieces. It also adds a few more grams of protein, which we love!
Skip the egg white if you prefer a looser, more cereal-like texture or if you need a plant based option.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost protein even more.
Mix in dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs once cooled for a chocolate granola twist (just check portion sizes to ensure you're in the low FODMAP range).
