- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flax
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger optional

Optional Topping

Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) then line a 13 x 9-inch baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl combine all the nuts, seeds, coconut, flax, spices, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Next, add in the coconut oil and Swerve and toss until the mixture is fully coated and shiny.
- Lastly, add in the Lakanto maple syrup and vanilla and mix until the mixture is evenly coated. It will not be super sticky at this point but everything should be evenly coated in the syrup.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly using the back of your spatula to compact it.
- Bake the granola bars for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the top is nice and golden brown.
- Allow to cool before removing the entire sheet from the baking tray and cut into 16 bars.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
