Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir everything together to ensure the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the chopped dried cranberries and chia seeds.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
