Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds (roughly chopped)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 3 tablespoons Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 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, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a smaller bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and nuts are coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and immediately sprinkle the lemon zest and chopped crystallized ginger over the hot granola, gently mixing them in.
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 and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
