I’ve eaten oatmeal for breakfast for years.  I change things up on occasion by making blueberry overnight oats or baked oatmeal, but there’s almost always oatmeal in my breakfast!

This Honey Almond Granola is yet another delicious way to get my oatmeal fix.  It’s golden brown and crispy with the flavors of honey, hearty almonds, coconut flakes and chia seeds.

This honey almond granola recipe is nice and coconut-y with coconut oil and big coconut flakes, toasted to perfection.  The almond slices are nice and toasty as well, and add even more nuttiness to the mix.  

With the almonds and chia seeds, this granola has got some protein that will really help to satisfy.  

It might even keep your stomach from growling until lunch time. 😉

I wanted to keep sugar to a minimum, so I tried my hardest not to go overboard on the sweetener.   I used honey, but maple syrup is also a great option.

Next time you’re in a breakfast rut or you need a healthy snack or topping for your yogurt cup, whip up a batch of this honey almond granola.  It’s the perfect thing to keep you going strong without the guilt, and homemade always tastes best.  🙂

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats or gluten free
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes*

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, chia seeds, and pinch of salt. Place the coconut oil and honey in small sauce pan and heat over medium low until melted, then stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are well coated. Pour the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and pile the granola into a heap on one half of the pan and compress. This will make nice, big clusters. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack and break into chunks.
  • Store in an air tight container at room temperature, and enjoy for breakfast, as a snack, or with yogurt and fruit. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For gluten free granola, make sure you’re using 100% certified gluten free oats.
  • The coconut oil may be substituted with your favorite oil.
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes can be found in the natural food section of most supermarkets, Whole Foods, and sometimes Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find it substitute with whatever coconut you have on hand.
