Almond Crunch Granola Recipes

ALMOND CRUNCH GRANOLA

Steps:

• Combine toasted almonds with oats, coconut and cinnamon. Blend honey with oil and drizzle over almond-oat mixture, tossing to mix well. Bake in oven at 350 degrees, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; loosen with spatula; cool.
• Microwave Directions: Combine as above in glass baking dish. Cook on high 8 minutes, stirring every two minutes; cool.

VANILLA ALMOND GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Toss the oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup and coconut oil together until combined. Whisk in the almond and vanilla extracts. Pour over the oats and toss to coat. Make sure all of the oats are moistened.
• Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow granola to cool completely - the air will help the granola obtain a crunchy texture.

HONEY CRUNCH GRANOLA WITH ALMONDS & APRICOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large pan, heat the honey and oil together until bubbling, then tip in the oats, almonds and cinnamon. Stir well until the oats are well coated, then tip onto 1-2 large baking sheets, spreading the mixture out. Bake for 20-25 mins, stirring halfway, until golden.
• Remove from the oven and, while still hot, stir in the apricots. Spread out again and press down with a spatula to cool - this will help it to clump together. Once cool, serve with yogurt or milk, and fruit, if you like. Will keep in an airtight container for 3 weeks. See 'Goes well with' for recipes using your granola.

ALMOND-RAISIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a jelly roll pan with baking parchment.
• Mix oats, almonds, sunflower seed kernels, and flax seeds together in a bowl.
• Whisk syrup, honey, coconut oil, water, and salt together in a separate small bowl until smooth; pour over oats mixture and stir. Spread the resulting mixture onto the prepared pan in an even layer.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 60 to 90 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely.
• Remove granola from pan by lifting parchment paper. Break granola into small pieces and put in a bowl; add raisins and toss by hand to mix. Store in an airtight container.
