Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- In a mixing bowl combine the syrups, almond butter, extracts, salt and cinnamon. Microwave in 10 to 15 second intervals to warm the syrup slightly. This makes it easier to stir and combine with the other ingredients.
- Once the wet ingredients are fully combined, add the oats, nuts, and seeds to the bowl. Stir until everything is well coated with the syrup mixture.
- Spread the granola onto the prepared pan, lightly pressing it down. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven, stir, and spread out on the pan again. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, keeping an eye on the bottom of the granola in the last few minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Let the granola cool on the pan for 15 minutes, then break into clusters. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
- Variations/Additions
- Once the granola is cool, add your favorite dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates. Flaked coconut is also delicious. Also have fun with the flavors:
- Tree nut-free: Sunbutter and tahini make excellentgranola. And instead of almonds, use a mixture of your favorite seeds like pepitas, hemp, and sunflower seeds.
- Store oil-free granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerated for up to 1 month. Granola is also freezer-friendly.
- pumpkin spice blend
- garam masala
- chai spice
- ginger and cloves
- a touch of cardamom
