Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, pepitas, flaxseed, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Step 3
Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until mixture is well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Use a spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the granola down in an even layer. You want the granola to be pressed together so it will form clusters after cooling.
Step 5
Bake for 23 to 28 minutes or until granola is slightly golden brown. DO NOT STIR, but make sure you rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.
Step 6
Remove the pan from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan without stirring. Do not touch it while it cools.
Step 7
Once it is cool, you can break the granola into clusters and enjoy!

Chef's notes
The granola clusters make a great breakfast, snack, or dessert. They are great with yogurt, milk, smoothie bowls, ice cream, or eaten by the handful.
If you don’t want to use any refined sugars, you can use Hu baking chips.
