Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (I use natural)
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract (optional, or less)
- 1/8 tsp. salt
Optional add-ins after baking:
- Vegan chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place parchment paper (or Silpat) on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When melted and combined, remove from heat. Add vanilla, almond extract (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Stir.
- Then add oats and almond flour. Stir well to thoroughly combine.
- Add oat mixture to lined baking sheet and slightly spread out. (It doesn’t have to be completely spread out – keeping some together will create clusters.)
- Bake for 10 minutes, stir, then bake for 10 more minutes. Remove and let cool.*

Notes
- *Texture: The granola will be soft when it comes out of the oven, but it gradually hardens as it cools.
- Storing: After it completely cools (about 25-30 minutes), store in a sealed container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. We enjoy ours within 5-7 days.
- Serving: Enjoy it with milk for breakfast, as an energizing snack, healthy dessert, or on top of ice cream or yogurt.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 5 cups granola.
