F. Line one big or two smaller cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together oats, pepitas, and walnuts. Set aside.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix together peanut butter, honey, molasses, vanilla, and sea salt. Use a whisk to make sure ingredients are well-mixed.
Add peanut butter mixture to oat mixture, and stir until well combined and all of the dry mixture is moistened.
Spread granola in a thin layer on the cookie sheet(s).
Bake for 7 minutes.
Stir well, then bake for 5 more minutes.
Stir again, and bake for about 2 more minutes, or until granola is toasted and beginning to dry out (it will get drier and crisper as it cools).
Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely, or at least 30 minutes.
Stir in chocolate chunks and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Granola should stay fresh for several weeks. Makes 6 cups.
