Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Pure honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir until all dry ingredients are well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until they are completely blended.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix them well using a spatula, ensuring all oats and nuts are coated evenly.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Press down slightly with the back of the spatula to help it clump together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Monitor closely in the last 5 minutes to prevent burning; it should be golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, where it will continue to crisp up.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters of your desired size and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
