Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup coconut oil melted
  • 0.8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 0.5 cup honey for vegan (can substitute agave nectar )
  • 2.5 cups rolled oats gluten-free for (use certified oats )
  • cup slivered sliced

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet

Directions

  1. Spread the almonds out on a baking sheet with high sides – I like to line it with a silicone baking mat for more even cooking and easier removal.
  2. Place the baking sheet in a cold oven, and turn it on to 350ºF. Toast the almonds for 9-11 minutes, checking in once or twice to stir.
  3. Remove the almonds from the oven, but leave the oven on.
  4. Combine the toasted almonds with the oats, coconut, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  5. Whisk the honey with the oil and drizzle it over the almond-oat mixture, tossing to evenly coat.
  6. Spread the granola out on your baking sheet, and bake it for 20 to 30 minutes, giving it a stir half way through.
  7. Remove the granola from the oven, loosen it from the pan with a spatula, and let it cool.
