Equipment
- 1 Large glass baking dish
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Mixing bowls
- 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Wax paper (optional but recommended)
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 cups cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toast the Oats and Almonds: Spread the oats and chopped almonds in a large glass baking dish. Toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and aromatic.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: While the oats and almonds are toasting, mix the honey, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until well combined.
- Combine and Bake: Drizzle the honey mixture over the toasted oats and almonds. Stir until everything is evenly coated. Spread the granola mixture onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper, ensuring it forms a single layer.
- Turn Off the Oven: Turn the oven off and place the baking sheet back inside. Let the granola sit in the residual heat for about 5-8 minutes to finish toasting without burning.
- Cool Completely: Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will crisp up.

Notes
- Storage Tip: Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks, but it’s so delicious it might not last that long!
- Customizing: Feel free to experiment with different nuts, seeds, spices, and sweeteners. Add dried fruits or coconut flakes after baking for added flavor and texture.
