Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
- Blend ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring until evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the mixture on the baking sheet, press down slightly, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
- Cool and store: Let the granola cool on the baking sheet to form clusters. Break into chunks and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, bake a few minutes longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Add dried fruit like cranberries or raisins post-baking for added sweetness.
- Substitute honey for maple syrup for a non-vegan option.
