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.

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.

GRANOLA TRAIL MIX

My family has always enjoyed this crunchy four-ingredient snack. When we go camping, each person includes one additional ingredient like mini marshmallows, corn chips or cookie pieces. The taste is never the same, and we're often surprised by the combinations. -Shelley Riddlespurger, Amarillo, Texas
