Maple Nut Granola (gluten-free, refined sugar-free)

• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 34 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free)

2 cups almonds, chopped (or other nuts)

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat your oven to 300 and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, add your oats, almonds and cinnamon and stir them together till the cinnamon has entirely coated the mixture.

In a small, microwaveable bowl, add the coconut oil and microwave till it has melted. Now, add your maple syrup, and microwave again (in 30 second increments) till the mixture is lightly boiling. Add your vanilla to the mixture and stir to combine.

Pour your wet ingredients on top of your dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. Pour your granola onto the pan and spread out into a thin, even layer.

Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes, or till the edges of the granola are just starting to gain some color (but not burning!).

As your granola cools it will become crunchy. Let cool for about 30 minutes, or till the granola has cooled entirely. Then gently break the granola into pieces, however large or small you would like.

Devour!
