Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
- Combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract to form a sweet, luscious liquid.
- Pour this wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until every oat is coated and gleaming.
- Spread the granola mixture in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. This will ensure uniform baking and golden crunchiness.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the granola turns a beautiful golden brown. Remember to stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- After removing the baking sheet from the oven, allow the granola to cool completely. As it cools, it will attain an irresistible crunchiness.
- Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored for up to 2 weeks, maintaining its freshness and crunch.
- Enjoy this delightful granola with your choice of milk or yogurt, or simply grab a handful as a wholesome, crunchy snack.
Tips
- For a bit of variety, consider adding other dried fruits like raisins or apricots.
- If you prefer a sweeter granola, drizzle a bit of honey over the top before serving.
