Almond Coconut Maple Granola

All I want to do sometimes is make granola. It's like oatmeal, but crunchy and maple syrup coated and delicious. 
This recipe is from Fettle Vegan found here: http://www.fettlevegan.com/recipes/healthy-homemade-granola
The original recipe gives quite a bit of space for personalization! Add whatever you wish or whatever your little heart desires in terms of what you like and want in a granola!
Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups GF rolled oats
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 shredded coconut
  • 1/4 hemp seeds
  • 1/4 flax seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Change the nuts if you prefer different ones or you're allergic to the ones suggested! 
The recipe also allows add-ins for after the granola has cooled such as: 

  • 1 cup raisins or craisins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs
  • 1/2 cup goji berries
  • a handful of sunflower seeds

*I made half the recipe since it's only for me, myself and I. Also didn't use cashews, hemp seeds, and flax seeds due to my lack of all. 
Spread onto baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, turning every 5-10 minutes. Add add in's after granola has cooled!
Mix everything together (*do not include add ins for after baking)




I made mine with chocolate chips and dried cranberries!
