Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts e.g., sliced almonds, walnuts, chopped pecans, chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ⅝ cups honey divided (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup mixed nuts, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Whisk together ¼ cup coconut oil, ⅝ cups honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour over the dry oat mixture.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly mix everything until the oats and nuts are evenly coated. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes, keeping an eye that the nuts do not overcook and burn. Stir once or twice during baking to make sure the granola cooks evenly.
- After baking, allow to cool for 5 minutes then drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons0.13 cups honey over granola and stir. This will create more large clusters of granola. Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispier.
