Description

Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla make this homemade granola recipe a standout! Customize it with your favorite nuts and add-ins.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 Tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoon of coconut oil, melted {or butter}
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. To get started, preheat over to 325º.
  2. In a large bowl, toss old fashioned oats, sliced almonds, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients, melted coconut oil {or butter}, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
  4. Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and toss to coat everything.
  5. On a baking sheet, place either a silicon baking mat or parchment paper. Then spread granola mixture out across entire pan.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until granola is slightly browned. {I did 35 minutes and it was perfect} You will want to turn the granola every 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn. 🙂
  7. Remove from oven and let cool.
