Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole almonds, divided
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a food processor or blender, pulse half of the almonds until they are very finely chopped. Pour them into a large bowl. Then chop the other half of the almonds coarsely, and pour them into the same bowl.
• Pour the oats, salt, and brown sugar into the bowl with the almonds and stir to combine.
• In a small microwaveable bowl, combine honey and coconut oil, and heat for 40 seconds. Stir to dissolve the coconut oil, and add the vanilla and almond extract.
• Pour the honey mixture over the oats, and stir so that they are evenly coated.
• Pour the oat mixture evenly onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (helpful if it has sides).
• Bake for 5 minutes, and then stir and spread back to an even layer. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
• Pour the granola and onto a piece of wax paper to cool. Spread it out into a thin layer - about 1/2 inch thick.
• After it cools completely, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.
