How to Make Maple Almond Granola

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.Melt coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then, add it to a large bowl and mix with the maple syrup, vanilla, almond butter, and protein powder until combined.
2. Add the oats, cinnamon, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Stir until the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
3. Pour the granola onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 20-30 minutes, making sure to stir the granola halfway. Once the granola is lightly browned, remove it from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
4. Store in a mason jar or airtight container for up to one week.

How long will homemade granola last?

This gluten-free granola can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Similarly, it can also be stored in a closed container on the counter at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

However, make sure to let the granola cool COMPLETELY before storing it in a sealed container. Otherwise, it will get soft and will not keep as long.

What can I eat with Maple Almond Granola?

My favorite way to enjoy homemade granola is in a bowl of yogurt piled high with fresh fruit! Peaches and apples are in season right now, and they are delicious with this recipe!

I also love eating this granola as a cereal, in a bowl of vanilla almond milk!

You can also use this inside of your pancake batter to make delicious granola pancakes. These are the best!!
