1tspvanilla extract
1cupshredded coconutsweetened or unsweetened, depending on how sweet you want your granola

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 12 x 17 baking sheet with parchment paper.
Coarsely chop the walnuts and pecans. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Scatter the pumpkin seeds on top.
In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup or honey, coconut oil, and vanilla. Pour over the nut mixture and then use a spatula to stir it all together. You want everything evenly coated. Spread in an even layer.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir in the shredded coconut. Spread everything back into an even layer and let cool completely. The granola will get crispy as it cools.
Once completely cooled, stir in chocolate chunks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. It will be good for at least 2 weeks, but I bet you'll have it all gobbled up long before then!
