• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds/pepitas

• 1/4 cup sesame seeds 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the nuts, currants, coconut flakes, seeds, coconut, indi chocolate Cacao Nibs, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Pour mixture onto lined baking sheet.
3. In a medium sized mixing bowl mash the bananas with a fork. Stir in the melted coconut.
4. Pour the banana-oil mixture over the granola and stir it all together making sure that every bit is coated
5. Spread the granola out on the lined baking tray so it is evenly distributed and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. About halfway through, remove the pan to gently stir the granola so that it cooks evenly. Once it reaches a golden brown color, remove and cool before serving.
6. Enjoy!
