Honey Almond Granola
Honey Almond Granola combines rolled oats with sliced almonds and pepitas, bound in a mixture of coconut oil, honey, and maple syrup before baking until crisp. The blend of warm spices like cinnamon and ground ginger adds subtle complexity, while the slow toasting creates golden, crunchy clusters. This granola is suitable for breakfast or snacking and offers a balance of nutty textures and natural sweetness.

Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil or avocado oil, melted
- ½ cup honey
- 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 + ¼ cups almonds raw, sliced
- 1/4-1/2 cup Pepitas
- 4 cups rolled oats use certified gluten-free oats for GF granola, old-fashioned
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 300° F and move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level/rack from the top.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, vanilla, honey, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Add your oats, sliced almonds, and pepitas and fold the mixture together.
- Transfer granola onto parchment-paper lined baking pan.
- Flatten the mixture into an even layer with a silicone spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact. Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pan (180 degrees) for even toasting and stir the granola. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Ovens vary from home to home so just keep an eye on it and yank once it's your degree of golden perfection!
- Once you remove your granola from the oven, allow it to cool on the baking sheet until completely cooled. This will give it some time to get that signature crunch we all know and love! (Granola won't fully crisp until it cools)

Notes
- The granola should cool completely on the baking sheet to develop its characteristic crunch before storage.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if a gluten-free granola is desired.
- Watch the granola closely during the last baking minutes to achieve your preferred level of golden crispness without burning.
- Adjust honey, maple syrup, or spices to taste based on your personal preference.
