Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped or sliced)
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure the oats, almonds, and coconut are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create clusters.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent overbrowning, as ovens vary.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. If using dried cranberries or raisins, mix them into the granola at this stage.
Enjoy your Maple Almond Granola with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
