Homemade Granola

• porții: 4 servings
• timp activ: 10 minutes
• timp total: 40 minutes

Ingrediente

2 cups whole rolled oats

½ cup chopped walnuts (or almonds, or a mix of both)

½ cup coconut flakes (optional)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

¼ cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons creamy almond butter

⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instrucțiuni

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, if using, and cinnamon. Drizzle in the coconut oil and maple syrup and add the almond butter and vanilla. Stir until combined. Scoop the granola onto the baking sheet and press the mixture into a 1-inch-thick oval. This will encourage clumping.

Bake for 15 minutes, rotate the pan halfway, and use a fork to gently break the granola apart just a bit. Bake for 15 minutes more, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, if desired. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
