Description
A delicious and healthy recipe for Maple Almond Granola Clusters, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, and shredded coconut. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, pressing it down gently to form clusters.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break into clusters and mix in dried cranberries if using.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
- For a sweeter granola, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking.
- Substitute the almonds with your favorite nuts or seeds, such as walnuts or pumpkin seeds, for a different flavor and texture.
