minutesIngredients
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried unsweetened apple rings
1/2 cup brazil nuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp fine-grain sea salt
Optional: 1/2 tsp allspice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place apple rings and brazil nuts in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until they break down into smaller pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl combine the oats, nuts, and shredded coconut. Pour coconut oil and maple syrup mixture on top. Mix well.
- Pour the granola onto your prepared baking sheet; the granola should be all touching and pressed down flat into an even layer. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes stirring halfway, until the granola is turning lightly golden in color. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
- Let cool completely before stirring in the dried apple rings.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
Notes
- To make extra clumpy granola, crowd the granola a bit after you toss it halfway through cooking. Use a spatula to press it down into a thick, even layer. Then let the granola cool completely before breaking it apart!
