Description

Learn how to make easy and healthy granola clusters with oats, almonds, and chocolate chips. Great for a quick snack or topping on yogurt!

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp flaxseed
1 cup almonds (chopped)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond butter

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, flaxseed, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds. Stir well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
3
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter until well combined and smooth.
4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until the dry ingredients are fully coated with the wet mixture.
5
Form Clusters: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. It's important to press the mixture down firmly with the back of the spatula. This step is crucial for creating larger clusters in your granola.
6
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the granola is golden brown.
7
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will harden and form clusters. Once cool, break the granola into clusters of your desired size.
8
Store the granola clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Note

For added flavor and crunch, try toasting the oats and nuts before mixing them with the wet ingredients. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown. This extra step enhances their flavor and gives your granola an even more delicious texture.
