Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 280g oat flakes
- 100g coconut flakes
- 30g chia seeds
- 140g almonds, thinly sliced
- 5g salt
- 3g vanilla powder
- 3g cinnamon powder
- 0.3g cardamom powder
Wet Ingredients
- 190g maple syrup
- 90g coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 160°C-165°C to prepare for baking the granola evenly.
- Melt coconut oil: Gently melt the coconut oil on low heat until just liquefied, avoiding overheating to preserve flavor.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oat flakes, coconut flakes, chia seeds, sliced almonds, salt, vanilla powder, cinnamon powder, and cardamom powder. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, then mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Prepare baking trays: Line two baking trays with parchment paper or a silpat mat, then spread the granola mixture evenly across both trays.
- Bake granola: Place trays in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, stirring the granola halfway through baking to promote an even crispiness.
- Monitor baking: Watch closely in the final minutes to avoid overbaking, as the granola can darken quickly and develop a bitter taste.
- Cool and store: Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the trays. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Ensure to stir the granola halfway through baking to help it brown evenly.
- Adjust spices to taste if desired, adding more cinnamon or cardamom for a stronger flavor.
- Store granola in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
- For chunkier granola, press down mixture lightly before baking and avoid stirring too much.
