Almond Butter Granola
Description
Almond Butter Granola combines rolled oats, almonds, flaxseed, and warming cinnamon into a lightly sweetened and nutty baked cereal. The mixture of almond butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil binds the dry ingredients, adding richness and a mild sweetness. Baking at a moderate temperature until golden allows the granola to develop a toasty aroma and crispness, while still retaining some chewiness. Cooling it undisturbed on the baking sheet preserves clumps and texture.
The granola works well served with milk, yogurt, or as a topping for fruit. Its balance of oats, nuts, and seeds offers a filling start to the day or a satisfying snack. The seasoning with cinnamon and sea salt enhances the overall flavor without overpowering the natural ingredients.
Store the granola in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a month, ensuring it maintains its crunch. Stirring once during baking helps achieve even toasting.
