Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil melted (60 g) sub other oil
1/4 cup almond butter (64 g)
2 tbsp maple syrup (42 g)
2 tbsp molasses (42 g)
4 cups rolled oats (320 g)
1/2 cup chopped/slivered almonds (60 g)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg/cloves or both!
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (Optional) raisins or other dried fruit chopped Optional, add if you like your granola sweet.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a medium bowl melt coconut oil (I use the microwave) and blend with almond butter, maple syrup, molasses.
If you want clusters in your granola, process 1 cup oats in to oat flour. Otherwise skip this step.
In a large bowl whisk together oats (oat flour), spices, almonds.
Pour wet into dry and mix until oats are thoroughly coated.
Spread evenly into cookie sheet and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, quickly stirring every 15 minutes for even baking.
Let granola cool and stir in raisins if using.
Store in a sealed container. Enjoy!

Notes

Granola keeps forever, you'll finish it before it remotely goes stale.
Here's the ULTIMATE breakfast formula: 3/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/4 cup granola, 1/2 cup fruit, 1 tbsp nut/seed butter. 👌
