Homemade Granola
Homemade granola is a game-changer, offering a perfect blend of crunchy, chewy, and sweet textures in every bite. With just 10 minutes of prep and 30 minutes in the oven, you’ll have a versatile treat that’s ideal for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped walnuts, or almonds, or a mix of both
- ½ cup coconut flakes optional
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, if using, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in the coconut oil and maple syrup and add the almond butter. Stir until combined.
- Scoop the granola onto the baking sheet and press the mixture into a 1-inch-thick oval. This will encourage clumping.
- Bake for 15 minutes, rotate the pan halfway, and use a fork to gently break the granola apart just a bit.
- Bake for 15 minutes more, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with dried cranberries, if desired. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
