Almond Butter Granola

Carolyn
This almond butter granola is made with clean, simple ingredients and baked into big, crunchy clusters. Nutty, lightly sweet, and perfectly crisp, it's the kind of crunch you keep coming back for.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats see note
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup golden flax meal
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup almond butter stirred well
  • 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a food processor, add ¾ cup of the oats and pulse until finely ground but before it reaches a flour consistency. Add the almonds and pulse for 5 more seconds.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground oat mixture, remaining old fashioned oats, cinnamon, golden flax meal, and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the almond butter and coconut oil in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Add the maple syrup and vanilla. Stir, then pour over the oat mixture.
  • Use a large spoon to stir the mixture until it’s evenly coated with the syrup mixture.
  • Transfer the granola to the prepared pan in an even layer about ½ inch thick. It won’t fill up the entire pan. Make sure not to spread it too thin or it will burn.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake for 22 more minutes.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the granola cool for at least 30 minutes before you break it into pieces. Spread the pieces apart.
  • Once it’s broken into clusters, let it cool completely on the pan before transferring it to a zip-top bag or airtight container.
