Cinnamon Almond Granola
Loaded with chopped almonds and crunchy oats (and only 4 other ingredients), this homemade Cinnamon Almond Granola is great for healthy snacking or adding to yogurt! Plus, it's a cinch to make and even better than the stuff at the store!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup roughly chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- toasted coconut or sweetened dried coconut optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°.Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until everything is incorporated evenly throughout. Bake on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 minutes.
- Lightly stir the granola mixture and bake for another 15 minutes. If you want to add toasted coconut chips to your granola, add it when it comes out of the oven. It's already toasted, so it will burn if you bake it with the granola. I have also used unsweetened, dried (different from toasted) coconut chips and added them at the last 6-7 minutes of baking (see "notes" in post).
- Let granola cool for 45 minutes undisturbed. When completely cool and no longer warm, transfer granola to an air-tight container. Since there are no preservatives, I try to use it up within a week. *Also makes a cute gift in a Mason jar!* Enjoy!
