Equipment

  • Sheet Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups instant or quick oats
  • 1/2 cup almonds crushed or slivered
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter slightly melted works best
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1.5 tablespoons ghee room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins:

  • seeds flax, chia, pumpkin, sesame
  • raisins
  • cranberries
  • chocolate chips
  • goji berries
  • cacao nibs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Low heat will prevent too much browning.
  • Start by mixing all ingredients in a large bowl until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be slightly wet but won't fully stick together until added to the pan.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the mixture to the baking sheet and press it together in the shape of a rectangle or a circle. The goal is to not have any pieces spread out. At this point, it should be sticking together more. This will encourage clustering to form.
  • Bake 17-20 minutes making sure it isn't getting too brown. It should begin to dry out and get crunchy when it's almost done.
  • Once done, let it cool. Use a fork to gently crack the large cluster into smaller granola clusters. Store in an air-tight container and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container. Add to yogurt, oats, smoothies, and more!
