Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Pure 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 (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). 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, and shredded coconut. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the tray. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
If using dried cranberries, mix them into the cooled granola.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack.
