Ingredients 

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • ½ cup shredded coconut;, unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil;, melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup;, see notes
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together oats, almonds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  • Then add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until all dry ingredients are well-coated.
  • Pour the mixture onto your prepared baking tray. If you like chunkier granola, press the granola down before placing in the oven.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the granola turns a golden brown.
  • Let the granola cool completely. The granola will get crispier as it cools. If you want to keep larger clusters, do not mix the granola until completely cooled.
  • Once cooled, break into pieces. Store in an airtight container and enjoy as a cereal, snack, with fruits, or with yogurt!

Notes

  • I don't like my granola extra sweet so if you prefer yours to be sweeter, add in a little more maple syrup. Optional mix-ins such as dried fruits or chocolate chips will also increase the sweet flavors.
