Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup sliced almonds (or walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/3 cup refined coconut oil (melted)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil to a large bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Allow the granola to cool completely before breaking it into clusters for the crunchiest texture.
Notes
- Substitute almonds with walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts for a different flavor.
- Allowing the granola to cool fully helps create larger crunchy clusters.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
