Ingredients
- 250 g rolled oats (2 cups)
- 50 g almond meal (½ cup)
- 3 tablespoon sliced almonds
- 4 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking pan (about 20x26cm / 10x14 inches) with parchment paper.
- Combine the rolled oats, almond meal, sliced almonds, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Add the melted coconut oil and stir. Now add the honey and vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or spoon to spread it evenly in a single layer.
- Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes until the granola is golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking pan. It will become crunchier as it cools.
- Once the granola has cooled, you can break it into clusters of your desired size. This will give your granola a nice texture.
Notes
- Spread evenly – When spreading the granola mixture onto the baking sheet, ensure an even layer. This will help it bake uniformly and become crisp.
- Add dried fruits – Add your favorite dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, apricots, or chopped dates after the granola has cooled. This allows you to personalize the granola to your liking.
- Make it vegan – For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Ensure that all other ingredients are vegan-friendly as well.
