Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds. Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredients and stir carefully, ensuring all oats and nuts are completely coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer to ensure consistent toasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and prevent burning.
- Remove from oven when the granola turns golden brown and has a crisp appearance. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: Choose organic rolled oats and pure maple syrup for the best flavor profile.
- Watch your oven carefully: Granola can quickly go from perfectly golden to burnt. Stir midway and keep a close eye during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Let it cool completely: Resist the temptation to break clusters while hot. Cooling allows the granola to crisp up and form delightful clusters.
- Customize your mix: Feel free to add dried fruits like cranberries or raisins after baking for extra texture and flavor.
- Storage is key: Keep your granola in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crunch for up to two weeks.
- For extra richness, lightly toast your coconut and almonds before mixing to enhance their natural nutty flavors.
