Almond Maple Granola
Jump to Recipe
I’m a big proponent of making things from scratch- Bread, Peanut Butter, Hamburger buns, yogurt…. etc. Of all the items to make from scratch though, Granola is at the top of that list! Not only is it cost effective (It’s mind-blowing to me how much Granola is at the store!), but quick and easy! Not to mention it makes your house smell heavenly while baking it.
This Almond Maple Granola is my breakfast staple, along with my homemade Instant Pot Yogurt. The granola itself is low in sugar, Gluten-Free, Dairy-free, and makes a HUGE batch, because as easy as making it is, it’s even easier to not have to make it every week, ya know?

Almond Maple Granola
Ingredients
- 9 cups Old-Fashioned Oats (not quick oats)
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil
- 1 cup Honey
- 2 1/2 tsp Maple extract (You can also substitute with 2 Tbsp of Maple Syrup)
- 1 cup Slivered Almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300º. In a large bowl, toss together the 9 cups Old-Fashioned Oats, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon, and 1 tsp Salt
- Then pour 3/4 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil, 1 cup Honey, and 2 1/2 tsp Maple extract over the oats and mix together thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture over two heavily greased baking pans, and cook for 40-50 minutes, until it's golden brown. Halfway through baking, take the pans out, and toss in the 1 cup of Almonds into the oats. Stir thoroughly to ensure an even bake, then swap the racks in the oven that you had previously been baking them on. Remember that it will harden as it cools.
