vanilla almond granola

Sweet, sticky, and crunchy granola exploding with vanilla and almond flavors. Ditch store-bought, healthy homemade granola is easy! This recipe is vegan and gluten free (if using certified GF oats).

Vanilla Almond Granola

(200 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

(100 grams) slivered or sliced almonds*

cinnamon

salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

(120 milliliters) pure maple syrup

(60 milliliters) melted coconut oil

almond extract

Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon)

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 &#8211; the air will help the granola obtain a crunchy texture.

This recipe is so simple and soooo delicious!  My kitchen smelled like I had oatmeal cookies baking. It’s going to be a perfect topping for my yogurt with fruit. One recipe filled my qt. Ball jar to the brim.

This is my go-to granola recipe! I do leave out the almonds and add some more oats because my kids aren't a fan of nuts. Beautiful results every time, so easy and quick!

I looooove this recipe!!! I double batch as well. I'm just wondering is there a trick to get nice big clusters? I find mine is pretty loose and doesn't make the bigger chunks that I like in granola. Thanks!!

Best granola ever! I love almond extract, so an almond-y granola was perfect. The consistency is delightfully crunchy. I used about 11g of pecans because I ran out of almonds, but it didn't detract from the almond amazing-ness. I kind of hope my family doesn't like it so I won't have to share! Kidding, sort of. 

I have made this granola so many times that I’ve lost count. My friends and family all love “my” (i.e., Sally’s!) granola and I get so many requests to make it! It’s great to have on hand for a quick breakfast for the kids but it’s rare that it lasts more than a day in our house! Thanks, Sally!

I made this twice just this week! My whole family absolutely loves it! So glad for a healthier and tastier option to store bought and it's so quick and easy to make. Can't go wrong with this recipe!

The best granola EVER! I double the batch every time I make it. The use of the Trader Joe's sliced honey roasted almonds is brilliant. A definite favorite in my house.

OMG--soooo good! I've made a lot of granola before, but this is the best.  Thank you so much for the sharing the recipe!

This has become my go to granola recipe and I make it almost weekly. Delicious and easy.

Love it! I didn’t have almonds, cinnamon or almond extract, so I substituted with 1/4 brown sugar, 2 tbls of honey and chopped walnuts, excellent! I’m glad I doubled the recipe also because I ended up eating a big bowl of this as soon as it cooled. I can tell my family is going to love it! Thank you for this recipe. 

This is sooooooooooo good! Me and my mom and dad love this recipe and it is super simple to make! I eat a big bowl every morning and in 3 days its gone! I definitely recommend this to others to try!

This the best! Our family loves it. I substitute half honey with the maple syrup.

Hands down mine and my family’s new favorite granola recipe!!! 
Thank you!
