Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup hazelnuts
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup flaxseeds
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup MCT oil or coconut oil
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your fan oven to 160°C (320°F) or 180°C for a conventional oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This helps prevent the granola from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Chop the Nuts
    Take the hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts and chop them into medium-sized pieces. You can do this with a knife or pulse them a few times in a food processor. Be careful not to chop them too small, as you want to keep a nice crunchy texture in the finished clusters.

  • Whisk the Egg White
    In a separate small bowl, add the egg white and whisk it using an electric mixer until it becomes light and frothy. This step is important because the egg white helps bind the granola mixture and creates those crispy, crunchy clusters you love.
  • Mix in the Egg White
    Gently pour the whisked egg white into the granola mixture. Use a spatula to fold it in until the mixture is fully combined and everything is lightly coated. Be gentle but thorough to avoid deflating the frothy egg white.

  • Spread and Bake the Granola
    Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone spatula to spread the mixture across the pan, then use the bottom of a measuring cup to press and pack it down firmly into a thick, flat layer. This helps the granola stick together and form clusters as it bakes. This step is key to creating large, golden clusters that stay together after baking.

  • Bake the Granola
    Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola is ready when it turns golden brown and smells toasted and nutty.
  • Cool Completely
    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a wire cooling rack. Do not touch or stir the granola while it is cooling. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 to 45 minutes. This allows the granola to firm up and form perfect clusters.

  • Break into Clusters and Store
    Once the granola has completely cooled, gently break it into large clusters using your hands or a spoon. Store the clusters in a mason jar, airtight container, or sealed glass jar. You can keep it at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your preference. The granola will stay fresh and delicious for up to 14 days.
