Instructions

Notes
- If you want it sweeter, add more maple syrup or brown sugar
- Use a cutting board and knife to roughly chop the nuts versus placing them in a food processor
- Make sure you use unsweetened coconut flakes. The sweetened ones are way too sweet for your granola
- Pepitas or pumpkin seeds are a nice addition to your granola also
