Ingredients
Units
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 cup finely shredded carrots
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut flakes (I used sweetened, but you can use whatever you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup organic flax seeds
- 3/4 cup whole almonds (roasted or plain)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla extract, honey, salt, and spices. Stir in remaining ingredients until evenly combined.
- Pour mixture into pan, spreading evenly to the edges (use the spatula to smooth things out). Bake for 35 minutes, until the granola is lightly golden brown along the edges. Allow to cool slightly (placing them in the freezer for about 15 minutes does the trick), then break apart with your fingers so only small chunks remain, and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes. This will crisp up the granola beautifully! Allow to cool completely before bagging.
