Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 and 1/2 cups (200g) old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup (100g) slivered or sliced almonds*
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Toss the oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup and coconut oil together until combined. Whisk in the almond and vanilla extracts. Pour over the oats and toss to coat. Make sure all of the oats are moistened.
  • Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow granola to cool completely - the air will help the granola obtain a crunchy texture.

FRENCH VANILLA ALMOND GRANOLA

My husband loves the french vanilla almond granola found in the bulk bins at the grocery store. It is so expensive, I decided to come up with my own recipe. Slow baking and lots of vanilla make this granola crunchy and delicious. I have found that when I increase the recipe, it requires more baking time. When I double the recipe, I have to bake it for 3 hours or more. Just keep baking until dry to the touch.

VANILLA-SCENTED GRANOLA

Great snack for everyone, or the for kids lunches or even as an after school treat! Serve for breakfast with yogurt and fruit or over ice cream for dessert. Watch your time in the oven because sometimes it cooks a little quickly. This recipe came from Bon Appetit, March of 2002. A few baking tips I have learned from making this recipe often: I use a jelly roll pan so the granola will have maximum exposure while cooking. Also, if you do like your granola to clump, do not stir while baking. Allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes or so, then run a spatula between granola and the pan to loosen. You will have so many clumps you will have to break them with your hands ; )
