Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (368 grams) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) raw sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
- 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil (for vegan)
- 6 tablespoons (120 grams) honey or for vegan, use maple syrup or brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond or coconut extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together sugar, butter or coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, almond or coconut extract, and salt. Stir in the oats until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared pan, ensuring no granola pieces are left aside.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating the pan halfway. Keep an eye on it as ovens vary; stir and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until lightly browned.

Notes
For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup.
You can customize the granola by adding nuts or dried fruits after baking.
If you find the granola too soft, return it to the oven for a few minutes.
