Coconut Almond Granola

Prep time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time: 55 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 cup blanched sliced almonds
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1-2 teaspoons pure almond extract

Before going into the oven! I made a double batch!

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, coconut, and almonds. Make sure it is well mixed before adding the liquids - this will prevent the cinnamon and salt fro forming into globs on the oats.
3. Add in the maple syrup, coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Give it a quick taste. If you want to add more then add 1/2 teaspoon at a time, tasting in-between, until you achieve your desired taste.
4. Spread out granola mixture on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Bake for 35 minutes. Stir at 20 minutes then stir every 5 -7 minutes. This batch can cook faster than others so keep an eye on it so the granola does not burn.
6. Let cool and place in large mason jar or air tight container.
