Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup chopped pecans or sliced almonds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup coconut, avocado, or olive oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp creamy almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients: Rolled oats, chia seeds, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt.
- In a small bowl, mix your wet ingredients: Oil, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla.
- Pour your wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and mix well, making sure that all pieces are coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet in a continuous layer to encourage clumps.
- Bake until lightly golden, for about 21 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan and gently breaking the granola apart about halfway through. (Note: Cooking time will vary based on thickness of the granola layer. If you use a smaller sheet pan, you may need 5 - 7 extra minutes.)
- Let it cool. As it cools, the granola will crisp up! Break apart any remaining large clumps.
