Homemade Granola
This homemade granola has a perfect balance of sweetness and a whole lot of crunch. It's great as a stand-alone breakfast or as a crunchy topping on your favorite treat.
Servings: 7 cups
Ingredients
- 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats gluten-free
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw walnut halves
- 1 cup coconut chips toasted, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup local raw honey
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup organic
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300˚ F
- Roughly chop almonds and walnuts and place in a large bowl.
- Add oats, coconut chips, cinnamon, and salt to nuts. Mix well.
- In a small bowl combine honey, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Give it a good stir.
- Combine wet ingredients and dry ingredients. Stir well to coat.
- Pour mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. You want a single layer for even baking. If you pan is not big enough, bake the oat mixture in batches.
- Bake on the middle oven rack for 20 minutes. Remove granola, lightly stir and place back in oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before enjoying or storing. You can store finished product in an airtight container for several weeks. (Mine doesn't normally last that long ;-) )
