Chunky Granola

I started with this wonderful recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chunky-granola

It worked perfectly and was absolutely delicious, and nice and chunky. Then I adapted it to reduce the sugar. If you increase the sugar/honey closer to the original recipe, it will be chunkier. I make this every week and like that I can do it using only one measuring cup.

3 cups oats
1 cup sliced or chopped almonds
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup agave or honey
1/3 cup coconut oil
Dash of Himalayan or sea salt

Preheat oven to 300. Line a baking sheet (with an edge all the way around) with parchment paper. Mix everything together and spread it out on the baking sheet, baking for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. When done, grab the edge of the parchment paper and slide the sheet of granola onto a rack to cool. When completely cool, break into chunks.
