Make large, crunchy granola clusters with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for breakfast bowls or healthy snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir well.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Do not press down too firmly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring. This is key for forming big clusters.
  8. Once cooled, break the granola into clusters.

Notes

  • Store cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • For extra crunch, you can bake for an additional 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries after the granola has cooled.
  • Consider this a great alternative to some meal planning services.
