Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (368 grams) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) raw sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
- 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil (for vegan)
- 6 tablespoons (120 grams) honey or maple syrup/brown rice syrup (for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond or coconut extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Line a jelly roll pan (10″x15″ or 25cm x 38 cm) with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter or coconut oil, honey (or maple/brown rice syrup), vanilla extract, almond or coconut extract, and salt. Mix in the oats.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared jelly roll pan, ensuring no granola pieces are left on the sides.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the edges start to brown. Monitor closely as ovens vary. Stir and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until uniformly lightly browned. Test doneness by chilling a small spoonful to check for crispness.
- Allow the granola to cool completely on the pan for about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container for storage (will last up to 3-4 weeks).
Notes
For a vegan alternative, replace butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup.
Ensure to stir the granola halfway through baking to promote even browning.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
