    How to Prepare Chai Spice Grain-Free Granola [Vegan]

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. In a large bowl, stir together the coconut, almonds, pecans, cashews, and flaxseed. Set aside.
    3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, ginger, cloves, black pepper, and sea salt. Cook until the mixture comes to a simmer.
    4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    5. Pour the contents of the saucepan into the large bowl and toss until well combined.
    6. Transfer the contents of the bowl to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly in a single layer (use more than one baking sheet if needed to avoid overcrowding). Bake, gently tossing halfway through the baking time, for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
    7. Remove from the oven and immediately add the dried fruit, if using. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
