Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups sliced almonds
- 3 TBSP melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 TBSP honey
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼-½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F with wire rack in the center/middle position. Line a 11×17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats and sliced almonds.
- In a small bowl whisk together melted coconut oil with maple syrup, honey, vanilla, and salt. Pour over oats/nuts and mix well to coat.
- Use a silicone spatula or bowl scraper to transfer the granola mixture onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread out very well in a super thin layer for crispiest results. Nearly all the parchment paper should be covered by granola (unless you're using a bigger pan). Pat to flatten.
- Bake on the center rack at 300°F for 20 minutes. When timer beeps, rotate the pan 180 degrees for even toasting and continue to bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Keep an eye on it and yank from the oven once it's your idea of crispy golden perfection.
- NOTE: I don't stir at the halfway mark so i can break it into chunky clusters when it cools off.
- Once you remove your granola from the oven, add mini chocolate chips and allow it to cool on the baking sheet until completely cooled. This will give it the necessary time to get that signature crunch we all know and love. (The granola will not be fully crisp until it has cooled)
- Once it's cooled and crispy – dig in! Granola will keep for up to two weeks in a lidded airtight container. Enjoy as a snack, in your favorite trail mix, or on top of yogurt with fresh fruit and all your favorite toppings.
