With a blend of coconut, almond, oats and cinnamon, this Coconut & Almond Granola is perfect for an easy weekday breakfast or to serve to guests! Plus it's an easy DIY gift for the holidays.
Pre-heat oven to 325F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Measure a cup of almonds and chop them roughly. Then stir the almonds with the remaining dry ingredients (oats, coconut, flax seed & cinnamon).
Measure coconut oil (solid form) and then melt; to that add the honey and almond butter. Stir the wet ingredients and then pour over the dry, stirring with a fork until coated.
Pour granola mixture onto the parchment paper, spread out evenly and pop in the oven.
Bake at 325F for 10 minutes, stir the granola, then bake for 10 more minutes.
Cook's Note: After 20 minutes it will more than likely be nice and golden. However, if its not quite golden yet, place back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes – just watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
Once cooled, add in the coconut flakes (and optional dried cranberries) and mix. Then place in a container with a tight-fitting lid and store for up to a week.
