Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole almonds, divided
  • 3 cups Gluten free oats
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup soft brown sugar (Optional)
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4.
  2. In a food processor or blender, pulse half of the almonds until they are very finely chopped. Pour them into a large bowl. Then chop the other half of the almonds coarsely, and pour them into the same bowl.
  3. Pour the oats, salt, and brown sugar into the bowl with the almonds and stir to combine.
  4. In a small microwaveable bowl, combine honey and coconut oil, and heat for 40 seconds. Stir to dissolve the coconut oil, and add the vanilla and almond extract.
  5. Pour the honey mixture over the oats, and stir so that they are evenly coated.
  6. Pour the oat mixture evenly onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes, and then stir and spread back to an even layer. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
  8. Pour the granola onto a piece of wax paper to cool. Spread it out into a thin layer - about ½ inch thick.
  9. After it cools completely, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.
