Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 1/2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, coconut, flaxseed, cardamom, salt and brown sugar. Stir until combined.
- Add the melted coconut oil and syrup and stir until all of the dry ingredients are fully moistened.
- Divide the mixture between two baking sheets lined with parchment. Spread in an even layer.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until granola is turning golden brown. If you have the baking sheets on two different shelves of the oven, rotate them about half-way through for more even baking.
Notes
Oil – you can use avocado or olive oil in place of the coconut oil, it will lessen the coconut flavor of the granola but will still turn out great!
Nuts or other add-ins – if you want to add nuts or dried fruit, you can! Use raw nuts and add up to 1 cup, and reduce the oats and coconut by 1/2 cup. So you would use 3 cups oats, 1 cup coconut and 1 cup of nuts. Add dried fruit in after the granola is baked.
