Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring that all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely near the end to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
Step 8
If using dried cranberries, stir them into the cooled granola.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
