Here’s what you need to make your own granola:
- rolled oats – I used a gluten free extra thick oat
- almond flour – I used a blanched almond flour
- chia seeds
- ground flax meal
- walnuts or pecans (or nut of choice
- sea salt
- maple syrup – you could sub this for date syrup, agave or honey if not vegan
- coconut sugar – or granulated sugar of choice
- coconut oil
That’s it!
Tips and Tricks for Chunky Granola
- Don’t skip the oil – the oil helps bake in the that perfect crunch
- Pack the granola – before baking, pack the granola in the pan and press it firmly
