Let’s Do Organic Coconut Flakes perfectly complement the crunchy salty but sweet chickpeas.

Add in nuts, maple syrup, and Native Forest Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and you have yourself an easy grain-free granola!

Perfect for serving with milk, atop smoothie bowls and coconut yogurt, or simply by the handful.⁠⠀

⁠⠀
Ingredients

• 1 (15)oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed⁠

• 1/2 tablespoon Native Forest Organic Coconut Oil (melted)⁠

• 1 1/2 cups Let’s Do Organic Coconut Flakes

• 3/4 cup slivered almonds⁠

• 1/2 cup raw hulled pumpkin seeds⁠

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon⁠

• 1 teaspoon salt⁠

• 1/4 cup maple syrup⁠

• 3 tablespoons Native Forest Organic Coconut Oil (melted)⁠⠀

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the chickpeas out on a paper towel or dish cloth and pat dry with another towel.⁠

2. Place the chickpeas on a parchment lined baking sheet and toss with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Bake for 25 minutes.⁠

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the coconut flakes, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and salt.⁠

4. Add in the cooked chickpeas, maple, and coconut oil. Toss well and spread back out onto the baking sheet.⁠

5. Bake for another 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the granola inside, with the door cracked to cool. This helps the granola crisp up.
