Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oatmeal
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup wheat germ
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- ½ cup honey I used a dark honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon orange zest
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- prinkle sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 9" baking pan with vegetable spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper 8" wide and 15" long. Place the parchment into the pan with extra paper hanging over the sides. Set aside.
- On a half sheet pan, toss together the oatmeal, almonds, wheat germ and sunflower seeds. Spread the mixture into a single layer and bake for 15 minutes, stirring two to three times during baking. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Meanwhile, add the honey, brown sugar, melted butter and almond extract to a small saucepan and heat, stirring constantly over medium heat until the brown sugar has dissolved. Stir in the orange zest.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture to a large bowl and add the coconut. Pour in the honey mixture and stir until well combined.
- Press the granola evenly into the prepared pan. Tip: Spray your fingers with vegetable spray so they don't stick to the granola while you're pressing it into the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, spin the pan around 180° and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips and a light sprinkle of sea salt (if using). Let the granola cool to room temperature before cutting into bars.
