Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk egg white until frothy in a bowl. For a vegan option, prepare a flax 'egg' by combining ground flax seed with water and letting it sit until thickened.
In a food processor or blender, pulse walnuts and almonds until coarsely chopped. Alternatively, chop the nuts with a knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and mix well.
Whisk together avocado oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients, along with the egg white or flax 'egg' and mix until evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down to create an even layer.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until golden-brown at the edges. Let it sit for one hour to firm up for larger clusters.
After cooling, mix in the dried fruit and store in a zip lock bag or jar for up to 10 days.

Notes

Store granola in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, seeds, or dried fruits based on your preference.
You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup.
