Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 TBSP melted coconut oil 
  • 2 TBSP honey 
  • 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract 
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 1.5 cup sliced almonds 
  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F and move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level/rack from the top.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, honey and salt.
  • Add your oats and sliced almonds and fold the mixture together.
  • Use a silicone spatula to help pour the granola onto your parchment-paper lined baking pan. If you want large chunks of granola (the best!) flatten the mixture into an even layer with your spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, rotate the pan (180 degrees) for even toasting, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. I like mine a little more on the golden/crunchy side- YUM! Ovens vary from home to home so just keep an eye on it and yank once it's your degree of golden perfection! NOTE: I don't stir at the halfway mark so I can break it to chunky clusters when it cools - love it like this!
  • Once you remove your granola from the oven, allow it to cool on the baking sheet until completely cooled. This will give it some time to get that signature crunch we all know and love! (It won't crisp up until it cools)
