Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) for even toasting.
  2. Mix the flax meal with warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a gel-like consistency.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared flax egg, monk fruit sweetener, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the cashew halves, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture evenly across the sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  7. Once golden brown and fragrant, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use raw nuts for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • Ensure coconut flakes are unsweetened to keep it low-carb.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge to maintain freshness for longer.
