This homemade Coconut Almond Granola, made with organic rolled oats, is a delightful combination of wholesome ingredients that will kickstart your day with a burst of energy and flavor. Let's dive into the recipe and discover how simple it is to create this delicious and nutritious treat in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups organic rolled oats
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the organic rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

4. Combine and Coat: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.

5. Spread and Bake: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to press it down gently to ensure even baking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

6. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. As it cools, it will crisp up and become crunchy. Once cooled, you can mix in the optional dried fruit if desired.

7. Store and Serve: Transfer the cooled Coconut Almond Granola to an airtight container or jar for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks, or longer if refrigerated. Serve your homemade granola with your favorite yogurt, milk, or enjoy it on its own as a delicious and nutritious snack.

Conclusion:

Homemade Coconut Almond Granola with organic rolled oats is not only a delicious breakfast option but also a versatile snack that can be enjoyed any time of day. By using wholesome ingredients and simple preparation methods, you can create a flavorful and nutritious granola that will satisfy your cravings and fuel your body with essential nutrients.
