Coconut Almond Granola
Coconut Almond Granola
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1 T soymilk
- pinch of salt
- dash of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar with the soymilk. Stir to combine, and microwave for 30 seconds, until the sugar is melted. Add the salt and cinnamon, then the oats, coconut, and almonds. Mix well, and pour onto the baking tray into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes to begin with, stir. Bake in additional 5 minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is lightly golden, smells nutty, and sounds crispy (trust me on this one). Cool to room temperature and pack in airtight containers.
Notes:
This batch took 10 + 5+ 5 + 2 minutes to be the way I like it. Use this as a guideline. Never walk away from baking granola!
Almonds are really easy to chop for baking, so instead of buying them ground or flaked, I just buy them whole so they are good for snacking and baking.
