honey almond granola

A simple recipe for granola made with honey, almonds, coconut oil and spices. This granola is great for breakfast or a snack. Recipe yields 8 to 9 cups of granola.

Honey Almond Granola

oats

almonds

fine-grain sea salt

cinnamon

ginger

coconut oil oil

vanilla

apricots

chopped dried cherries, cranberries, raisins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, salt, cinnamon and ground ginger. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Stir in the oil, honey and vanilla. Turn the granola out onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola should be turning lightly golden (keep an eye on it as honey tends to brown). The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Let the granola cool before stirring in the chopped fruit. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or keep it in the freezer for longer shelf life.

Try Schmidt's! It's the only natural deoderant that has ever worked for me. There are a few other new brands out with the same types of formulas that I'm tempted to try sometimes... but I definitely love Schmidt's fragrance free and lavendar-sage versions.

Also, this is my favorite granola recipe! It's SOOOO good and so adaptable.

I brought this into my office today and it won uniform reviews that it was amazing!  I had to keep giving myself a little bit since I kept going back for more and I didn't want to be that girl who eats everything she brings.

Just made a batch of this granola up today. It is so good! My husband proceeded to slice a banana and top it with this granola. A must keep recipe.

This was delicious!!  I added 1/4 c or so of unsweetened coconut flakes.  I didn't have the fruit, but it was still great.  I think next time, I'll use cherries, coconut flakes, and maybe dark chocolate chips.  Thanks for sharing!

I've been making this granola weekly for a few weeks now. It's so simple and delicious. Love it, thank you!

I just made this recipe today... it turned out so well! I used a mix of olive and vegetable oil and doubled the cinnamon. Will definitely be making this again! Thanks!

I recently moved to Costa Rica where maple syrup is a hot commodity and honey is everywhere. I've been searching for an good honey-based granola and finally found it! Simple and delicious (and yes, totally addicting!) Had to change the fruit to something that's available here, but if I get the chance I will try with apricots and cherry. Thanks for my new go-to granola!

Followed your directions how long to cook and when to stir and my granola burnt. Had oven at 350 as stated. Bummer expensive ingredient. I'll have to subdue that happening eating anyways. Since money don't grow on tree's

I made the granola, added salted roasted almonds, that I chopped up coarsely, for that sweet, salty flavor, and a dash more cinnamon. Turned out wonderfully and the house smelled so, so, good. Chaco's  so worth the price, on a second pair, same style, great walking shoe!!

I am obsessed with this granola.  I made my second batch on Monday (the first batch was devoured by a friend) and I've eaten easily 1/3 of it myself!  Keep those great recipes coming.

Thanks for the recipe, Kate. After making this recipe for the first time I went back out and bought a huge jar of coconut oil and a big bear of honey. I've had a constant supply of granola since that first attempt and I'm actually making another batch right now!

Any idea of the nutritional information for this granola? Made it yesterday and love it

Thanks for the granola recipes,  they're amazing! I made the ginger one first and all I had for any nut/seed and dried fruit was pumpkin seeds and raisens. When I tasted it I thought it was the most delicious thing I'd ever had. I wasn't sure if it was just me or this granola was amazing so I gave some to my husband and he agreed it was over the top delicious. So I made more (my husband and I ate all of the first batch) and gave some to our Daughter and her husband, and  same reaction, they both were obsessed with it! I had one more person to test it on though,  a friend of mine used to get granola from this cute little cafe that made it themselves, and she would drive 20 mins just to get it.  She txted me after she tried some of this one I made and said it's the best she's ever had including the one from the little Cafe! So thank you again for sharing your recipes we are obviously enjoying them so much!

Made the Healthy Granola and it was delicious, added coconut flakes half way thru the baking cycle.  Used Walnuts, sunflower seeds, maple syrup,chopped apricots and pumpkin pie spices. Delicious!
Thank you for a healthy alternative to store bought granola.

I made this recipe about 3 weeks ago, it lasted two weeks and then we've been without for a week. I'm up before the husband and toddler on a Saturday so that I can make it again and surprise them- my toddler loved it! We add it to smoothie bowls with and she would steal it to snack on (so would I but I'm 6 months pregnant so totally acceptable to snack ). 
We try to make everything we can homemade, I've wanted a granola recipe for a while now and this is a keeper!!
So thank you for posting this recipe all the years ago that you did - my family (and I) are very happy you did!

Thank you for this fabulous recipe!   I have made it twice now!  Had to go and buy a beautiful big jar, as I will be making it all the time!  Love it!

Love the recipe, but I'm usually too busy to cook. My favorite packaged granola is Yogi Granola, an amazing Superfood granola made with adaptogens that is absolutely delicious.  I've turned all my friends on to them lately. 

I'm a little late to this game, but I MADE THIS GRANOLA 3 DAYS AGO and its SOOOOoooooo good! I do keep eating it by the handful though so I've had to throw it in the freezer as well. The spices are perfect! I had to adapt the recipe a little because I was short on some supplies, but it all worked out. I skipped the dried apricot only because its stone fruit season and fresh is better! Thanks for this!

I was looking for a new granola recipe to give as Christmas gifts to teachers, etc and came across this one. I made the recipe with my six year old yesterday and we loved it! We are going to make several more batches and will try this time not to eat so much of it ourselves. Thanks!

Wonderfully sticky and clumpy, this Homemade Coconut Oil Honey Almond Granola will make your day!

Homemade Coconut Oil Honey Almond Granola

whole almonds, divided

old fashioned oats

salt

brown sugar

honey

coconut oil

vanilla extract

almond extract

In a food processor or blender, pulse half of the almonds until they are very finely chopped. Pour them into a large bowl. Then chop the other half of the almonds coarsely, and pour them into the same bowl.

Pour the oats, salt, and brown sugar into the bowl with the almonds and stir to combine.

In a small microwaveable bowl, combine honey and coconut oil, and heat for 40 seconds. Stir to dissolve the coconut oil, and add the vanilla and almond extract.

Pour the honey mixture over the oats, and stir so that they are evenly coated.

Pour the oat mixture evenly onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (helpful if it has sides).

Bake for 5 minutes, and then stir and spread back to an even layer. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.

Pour the granola and onto a piece of wax paper to cool. Spread it out into a thin layer &#8211; about 1/2 inch thick.

After it cools completely, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.
