Homemade Almond Granola is a crunchy, lightly sweetened blend of oats, almonds, and natural sweeteners. Perfect for breakfast or snacking, it’s easy to make, customizable, and healthier than store-bought options.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced or chopped raw almonds
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded coconut, flaxseed, chia seeds, or dried fruit (added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully coated.
  5. Spread mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely. Stir in optional dried fruit or mix-ins.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • To get clumpier granola, press mixture firmly onto the baking sheet and don’t stir during baking.
  • Granola will continue to crisp as it cools—don’t overbake.
  • Mix in dried fruit or chocolate chips only after granola is fully cooled.
