Description
This homemade crunchy almond granola is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, add the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, sliced almonds, and salt and stir until well combined.
- Pour the coconut oil mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture, and stir until well incorporated and every oat and nut is evenly coated.
- Pour the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a large spoon, spread it out evenly.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, stirring it halfway through, until the granola is toasted and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the granola from the oven, set it aside, and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet, undisturbed, for at least 45 minutes to enable clusters and extra crunch to form.
- Once cooled, gently break the granola into clusters. It can be eaten immediately or stored in an airtight container or jar in the pantry for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Make sure to allow the granola to cool completely to form clusters.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in dried fruits after baking.
