Homemade Almond Cinnamon Granola
This granola is easy to make and Yummy to eat!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole Raw Almonds
- 3-4 Cups Old fashioned oats
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar or just use Honey
- ¼ Cup Honey
- 3 Tbs Coconut oil or Substitute Canola Oil
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ tsp Almond Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a food processor or blender, pulse half of the almonds until they are very finely chopped (or do it the old-fashion way and chop with a knife). Pour them into a large bowl. Then chop the other half of the almonds coarsely, and pour them into the same bowl.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, combine honey, sugar, salt, cinnamon and coconut oil, and heat for 40 seconds. Stir to dissolve the coconut oil, and add the vanilla and almond extract.
- Pour the oats and the almonds into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
- Pour the honey mixture over the oats, and stir so that they are evenly coated.
- Pour the oat mixture evenly onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (helpful if it has sides).
- Bake for 8 minutes, and then stir and spread back to an even layer. Return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. I usually do 7 more minutes.
- Pour the granola and onto a piece of wax paper to cool. Spread it out into a thin layer – about 1/2 inch thick. (I don't always do this)
- After it cools completely, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.
Notes
I usually make 3 X this amount because we eat a lot of it! Enjoy!
