Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cashews, almonds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola during the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy on its own, with yogurt, or with your favorite milk!
