NOTES
This goes great on top of fresh fruit with some Vanilla Oat Milk, and on Peachy Dragon Fruit “Ice Cream”
Just made this granola, and ate it with some blueberries and strawberries… delicious. This may be my go to breakfast…. It’s so easy !
Great recipe!! I used what I had on hand — four cups extra thick rolled oats and coconut extract instead of the almond…. So DELISH!
I have made this several times, so simple and so good. Thank you!
What style of oats do you use? Quick or old fashioned? I always avoid recipes that don’t specify and I am tired of losing out!! Please specify as it would make it so much easier for those of us who don’t experiment very often!!! I can’t wait to try this!
To make granola, always use old fashion oats. Quick oats does not work when it comes to making granola.
For portability I made this into granola bars by adding water to the mix and pressing it firmly into a silicone baking pan. Perfect!
Amazingly wonderful! I made it just like the recipe ~ except ~ I added some unsweetened coconut shreds! It took it to the next level for sure!! Love this! Glad it’s not a huge batch as it’s just me eating it. Thank you for your amazing recipes, Kiki!!
Delicious! I added 1 extra cup of oats, a little less maple syrup to make it less sweet for evening snacking, and baked 10 minutes more to make super dooper crunchy. This is a delicious with fruit and plain! I did not have the coconut yogurt so used a splash of almond milk. This is just what I needed, thank you!
I love the almond extract in this! This got really crunchy it is delicious. I only needed 15 mins. Thanks Kiki!
This is a great base for granola bars……I added some cinnamon!! Cook time for me was 10 minutes total. Thanks for the awesome recipe Kiki!!! :)
Super excited to try this! I’m wondering if I can double the vanilla in replacement of the almond extract?
It would still taste amazing!
