Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups oats
  • ½ cup flaked almonds
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoon honey more to taste preference
  • 1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract adjust to preference
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170C / 340F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl combine your oats, almonds and cinnamon. Pour in your melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and honey. Mix well so the ingredients are all coated in the honey and oil mixture.
  • Spread the mixture out onto your parchment-lined baking tray in an even layer. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the granola every 5 minutes or so towards the end of cooking as it can burn fast! If you are doubling the recipe it may need a little longer to cook.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool so that it crisps up, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Stir the mixture very thoroughly before placing on the baking tray so the oats are coated with the oil and honey.
  • Be sure to stir after 15 minutes for an even bake.
  • Keep a careful eye on the granola towards the end of cook time as it can turn fast, and we don't want burnt granola!
