Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 cup Crystallized ginger, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 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 (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly until all the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Press it gently with the back of a spatula to encourage clusters.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven once it is golden and fragrant. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet, during which it will crisp up.
Once cooled, stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack on its own!
