Description

This simple granola recipe is as healthy as it is delicious, making it a perfect Whole Food Plant Based granola.  Made with beautiful slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, rolled oats, cinnamon, and hint of maple syrup. No oil, no refined sugar, no highly processed ingredients, and gluten free.   


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup almond, slivers
  • 2 cups rolled oats, gluten free – old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ¼ cup pure organic maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 F.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, add the walnuts, almonds, rolled oats, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix well.
  3. Drizzle the maple syrup over the dry granola mixture, then stir well until everything is incorporated and coated nicely with maple syrup.
  4. Place a silpat silicone baking pad onto a cookie sheet. Then dump the granola mixture onto the silpat covered cookie sheet and spread the granola out evenly.
  5. Bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the cookie sheet from the oven and move the granola around the cookie sheet to ensure even baking.  Place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes have expired, then remove the cookie sheet from the oven, and again, move the granola around, and then place back into the oven one last time for another 3 minutes.  Watch the granola very carefully as you do not want to overbrown it or burn it.

Notes

*Granola Baking:  Watch your oven carefully as some ovens tend to run hotter than others.  Do not overbrown the granola.
