Instructions

Prepare The Oven and Baking Sheet

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit or 150 degrees Celsius.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Grab a large mixing bowl and add 2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats to it.
  • Toss in 1 cup of mixed nuts, almonds, and pecans. Then, stir until well combined.
  • Sprinkle ½ tsp ground cinnamon and ⅛ tsp salt over the dry ingredients and mix everything together evenly.

Prepare The Syrup

  • Take a small bowl for preparing the syrup and pour in ¼ cup of honey to it.
  • Add 2 tbsp of maple syrup to the mixture.
  • Mix 1½ tbsp of vanilla extract and ¼ cup of coconut oil into the syrup and stir until well blended.
  • Pour the syrup over the dry ingredients in the bowl and use a spatula to mix everything until the oats and nuts are well coated.

Coat The Granola and Spread Them

  • Pour the syrup over the dry ingredients in the bowl and use a spatula to mix everything until the oats and nuts are well coated.
  • Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet that you prepared earlier.

Bake, Cool and Enjoy!

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake the granola for about 25-30 minutes. Flip the granola halfway through to ensure even toasting.
  • Once the nut granola is golden brown, remove it from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet to make the granola extra crunchy.
  • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy a super tasty homemade vanilla almond granola!
