Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, cacao nibs, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
Add the maple syrup, sourdough discard, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well until all of the dry ingredients are fully coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and gently flip or stir the granola to promote even browning.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the granola is golden and beginning to crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

If the baking sheet feels crowded, divide the granola between two pans for more even baking.

For chunkier clusters, avoid stirring too much during the second bake.

Homemade granola should last about 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container in a cool place.

This has a subtle cinnamon flavor. Feel free to add more spices if you want a stronger flavor.
