About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups sliced almonds
1 ½ cups coconut flakes (sweetened or unsweetened)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup honey
½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups chopped dried figs
Preparation
Step 1 :
Preheat the oven to 375° F with a rack in the center position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 :
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, coconut flakes and salt until combined.
Step 3 :
In a small bowl whisk together honey, oil, vanilla and almond extract. Pour the honey mixture into the oats and toss together until combined.
Step 4 :
Pour the oats onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
Step 5 :
Bake until lightly golden, about 20 minutes, stirring the granola half way through to prevent uneven browning.
Step 6 :
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool. Stir in the figs. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
