Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, coconut flakes, and chia seeds. Stir these dry ingredients until they are evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Add the cinnamon and salt, then stir everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure it is in a uniform layer for even baking.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning, especially the coconut flakes.
Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
