Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free)
  • 1 cup whole raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup virgin, cold pressed coconut oil (solid, not liquid)
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons honey (divided)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter, coconut oil and 3 tablespoons honey. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until mixture is smooth and runny.
  • Add to oat mixture and stir until there are no dry oat flakes.
  • Spread the mixture out on the baking sheet and press down on it. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the top.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the granola starts to brown on the edges. Do not stir while baking. (Start checking on the granola at 15 minutes as it may start to brown quickly).
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely on the pan. The granola will get crunchier as it cools.
  • Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 10 days.

Notes

  1. I like to use lighter colored sheet pans when making granola as I find darker pans brown a bit too quickly. (Even the gold pan pictured above browned the granola a bit too much).
  2. The granola can burn fast, so keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time. I usually start checking on it after 15 minutes.
  3. Let the granola cool completely on the pan before breaking into pieces. It will crisp up as it cools.
