Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (270g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (120g) raw whole almonds
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • ⅓ cup (110g) honey
  • ¼ cup (60g) natural almond butter (smooth)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, overlapping the edges.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, cinnamon, and salt, stirring until the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat or a microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, almond butter, and coconut oil. Heat until fluid and shimmering, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the honey glaze over the oat mixture and fold gently with a spatula until all ingredients are fully saturated.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press down firmly into a single, tight layer using a spatula to ensure cluster formation.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until edges are deep golden brown.
  7. Allow the granola to sit undisturbed on the pan for at least 30 minutes to crystallize and harden into clusters before removing.
