Maple Coconut Granola
Description
This granola recipe starts by mixing old-fashioned oats with chopped almonds and flaked coconut, along with cinnamon and a pinch of salt to season. The wet ingredients—coconut oil melted with pure maple syrup and vanilla extract—are stirred together and mixed thoroughly into the dry ingredients to coat evenly.
The mixture is spread in a thin layer on a baking sheet and baked at 350°F for 20 minutes, with occasional stirring to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. Cooling crisps up the granola, providing a crunchy texture with chewy coconut flakes and crunchy nuts offering variety.
The blend of maple syrup and vanilla adds warm sweet flavors balanced by the toasted oats and coconut. This granola stores well in an airtight container and can be eaten plain, with milk, or as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (could also use gluten-free oats)
- 3/4 cup almonds coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut flaked
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine oats, almonds, flaked coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a microwaveable bowl, combine coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Microwave on high for about 20-30 seconds, until coconut oil is melted. Stir ingredients with a spoon, then pour over the top of oat mixture.
- Stir all ingredients, making sure to coat oat mixture evenly.
- Spread granola in an even layer on a large cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Granola will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
