Ingredients

Scale

3 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups slivered almonds
3/4 cup whole/rough chopped almonds*
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons vanilla extract (you read that right!)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C). After this,Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
Toss the oats, almonds, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. Now Whisk together the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. After this,Pour over the oats and toss to coat. Make sure all the oats and almonds are coated.
Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes total, stirring every 15 minutes. I don’t stir vigorously as I like to have some chunks left. Allow granola to cool completely – the air will help the granola become crunchy.
Make ahead: Granola is PERFECT to make ahead because it stays fresh for up to 3 weeks when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
