Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Using a spatula, toss and stir the granola mixture until everything is thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of a spatula for clumps if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring gently at the halfway point to ensure even baking. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
If using dried cranberries, stir them into the cooled granola.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a crunchy snack!
