Delicious Coconut Almond Granola Recipe for a Healthy Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins)
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (optional for extra crunch)
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, salt, and cinnamon.

    Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

    Make sure the coconut oil is not too hot to avoid cooking the other ingredients.
  4. Combine and Mix

    Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

    Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Spread on Baking Sheet

    Spread the mixture evenly on a lined baking sheet.

    Use a spatula to flatten it out for even baking.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

    Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and Add Extras

    Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, add any dried fruits or seeds you like.

    Store in an airtight container for freshness.
