You’ll also want to carefully watch your granola white it’s baking in the oven. <\/strong>In a matter of one minute, the edges of my granola went from perfect to a little burnt when I made it a few weeks ago! I made it again last week and pulled it out a couple minutes too early and the granola wasn’t quite as crunchy as I would have liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMy family is currently in a rental, with an oven I’m not used to, so I’d like to blame it on the oven! Or the stress of moving \ud83d\ude09 Either way, lesson learned: watch your granola carefully the last few minutes to ensure the perfect amount of crunchy with no burnt edges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how do you make this healthy Maple Nut Granola?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To begin, preheat your oven to 300 and line a pan with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a mixing bowl, add your oats, almonds, and cinnamon and stir together till the oats and nuts are completely coated in cinnamon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a microwaveable bowl, add your coconut oil and microwave until it is melted (mine took about 30 seconds). Now, add your maple syrup, and microwave again, so the entire mixture is hot (maybe about another 30 seconds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove your wet ingredients from the oven, add your vanilla, stir it all together and pour it over your dry ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spread your wet granola mixture out into a thin, even layer on your pan and bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes, carefully watching it the last few minutes so you don’t wind up with burnt edges!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
