Almond Butter Granola Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup natural almond butter ((or your favorite nut butter or sun butter))
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil ((or another favorite oil) )
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven.: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. 2

   Combine wet ingredients.: Place the almond butter, maple syrup and coconut oil in a medium microwave safe bowl and heat for 25-40 seconds or until the coconut oil is melted and it's easy to stir. Stir well to combine, then stir in the cinnamon and salt.

3. 3

   Add the oats.: Add the oats and stir until they're well coated with the almond butter mixture.

4. 4

   Spread oat mixture in pan.: Pour the oats onto the prepared pan and spread in an even layer, about 1/4" thick, packing it down well. Packing it down will help give us those big clusters!

5. 5

   Bake.: Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden....do not stir! Remove from heat and cool completely without stirring.

6. 6

   Cool and break into clusters.: Once cooled, break the granola up into chunks and place in an air tight container at room temperature.
