Cinnamon Almond Granola
Loaded with chopped almonds, crunchy oats, cinnamon, and sweetened with honey, this homemade Cinnamon Almond Granola is great for healthy snacking or adding to yogurt!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup roughly chopped raw almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- toasted coconut or unsweetened dried coconut optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°. Combine oats, almonds, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix until everything is incorporated evenly. 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 unsweetened, dried coconut (different from toasted coconut) add it at the last 6-7 minutes of baking. 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.
- 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 or two. *Also makes a cute gift in a Mason jar!* Enjoy!
Notes
- Store granola in an air-tight container and use within a week or two.
- A 15.25" x 10.25" sheet pan fits perfect for this recipe.
