Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped or sliced)
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup 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 or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°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, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure the oats, almonds, and coconut are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create clusters.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent overbrowning, as ovens vary.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up further as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. If using dried cranberries or raisins, mix them into the granola at this stage.

Step 9

Enjoy your Maple Almond Granola with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
