Ingredients
- 3 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if needed
- 1 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
- ½ ½ cup honey see notes
- ¼ ¼ cup light-flavored oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 2 tablespoons vanilla extract yes, tablespoons!
- ½ ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the oats and almonds to a large mixing bowl. See notes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the honey, oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the oats and mix so that they are well-coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the oats to the baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Bake the granola for 45 minutes, mixing it twice during baking.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely before storing it.

Notes
- Note 1: To make this recipe vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey. The granola won't stick together as much if you use maple syrup.
- Note 2: Make sure that your oven is set to 300 degrees (NOT 350 degrees) Fahrenheit. It needs to be at a slightly lower temperature so it crisps up nicely without burning.
