Description
A crunchy and delicious granola made with almonds, coconut, and sweetened with honey or maple syrup, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled almonds (or almond flakes)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled almonds, almond flour, shredded coconut, sea salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will harden as it cools.
- Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some dried fruit like cranberries or raisins after baking.
- Substitute the honey or maple syrup with agave syrup for a vegan option.
