Coconut Almond Granola
Extra-crunchy homemade Coconut Almond Granola is a recipe made with almonds, dried cherries, and oats-- naturally sweetened, and butter-free.
Ingredients
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2-3 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 7 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups coconut
- 3 cups whole almonds, chopped
- 3 cups whole walnuts, chopped
- 2-3 cups dried fruit, such as cranberries, golden raisins, or cherries
Instructions
- Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line 2 rimmed backing sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, except the dried fruit (will add in later).
- Whisk the first 5 ingredients together. Pour over the dry ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking sheets, baking on 2 oven levels, stirring every 15-20 minutes. After 40 minutes, swap pans on the oven racks.
- Bake for 60-80 minutes until granola is the consistency that you like.
- Remove granola from the oven and cool on racks for an hour before stirring in the dried fruit.
- Using an airtight container, you can store for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long!)
