To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook maple and almond granola using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Maple and Almond Granola:
- Prepare 60 ml vegetable or coconut oil
- Get 60 ml maple syrup or honey, or a mixture of both
- Take 1/2 tsp salt
- Prepare 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Make ready 250 g rolled oats or a mixture of oats and oatmeal
- Take 250 g mixed nuts and seeds of your choice, roughly chopped if necessary (I used flaked almonds, cashew pieces and sunflower seeds)
- Take 1 tbsp demerara sugar (optional)

A batch of Maple Almond Crunch Granola is a perfect make-ahead clean eating breakfast or snack to keep on hand for quick meals when hunger strikes!

My favorite combination for mixins is almonds, dried unsweetened coconut, and chopped dried mango.
Steps to make Maple and Almond Granola:
- Pour the oil, syrup or honey, salt and vanilla in a small pan and heat gently. Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas 3.
- Measure out the oats, nuts and seeds in a large bowl.
- Pour the oil and syrup mixture into the bowl and mix with the dry ingredients until they are thoroughly coated. Taste, and add the sugar if you wish, it adds another level of crunch, but leave it out if you don't want the granola to be too sweet. Spread the mixture out on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. Use two trays if necessary.
- Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, then turn the paper over on all four sides to pile the granola in the middle, then spread out evenly again. This will help it crisp up evenly. Bake for another 10 minutes, but keep an eye on it. Turn over again one or two times if necessary.
- When crisp and golden all over remove from the oven. The granola won't be crisp while hot, so test on a cooled piece. Mix in the dried fruit while warm if using.
- Leave on the tray to cool completely before pouring into a jar. Serve with ice cold milk or fruit juice or yogurt and fresh fruit, or just eat from the jar!
The mango I mix once the granola is cooled, but the almonds and coconut get toasted.
