Maple Walnut Granola
This maple walnut granola is crunchy and sweet with plenty of clusters! It's naturally sweetened with maple syrup and tastes SO much better than store-bought. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup golden flax meal
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup walnut halves, chopped into small pieces
- ¼ cup 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 oats and pulse until finely ground but before it reaches a flour consistency
- In a large bowl, combine the ground oats, remaining old fashioned oats, cinnamon, golden flax meal, kosher salt, and chopped walnuts. Stir to combine.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the coconut oil in the microwave. 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. It’s important the granola is touching (not spread out too thin) to make clusters at the end
- Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake for 25 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.
- Once it’s broken into clusters, let it cool completely before transferring it to a zip-top bag
