Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 and 1/2 cups (200g) old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup (100g) slivered or sliced almonds*
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Toss the oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup and coconut oil together until combined. Whisk in the almond and vanilla extracts. Pour over the oats and toss to coat. Make sure all of the oats are moistened.
Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow granola to cool completely - the air will help the granola obtain a crunchy texture.
