This chia almond granola is crispy and crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness. Toss everything in the food processor and you’ll have granola in the oven in just a few minutes!
This chia almond granola is easy to make but it’s SO delicious. It’s delicious on top of a yogurt bowl, with chocolate as granola bark, or enjoyed by the handful! You can make it quickly by using a food processor. This helps create a crunchy granola by chopping everything into smaller pieces.
Once you have everything in the food processor, you just pulse it a few times. The coconut oil and maple syrup help create little clumps as the granola bakes, so you end up with a crispy, crunchy granola!
Tips for Perfect Granola
- Keep a close eye on the oven temperature. This granola cooks at a low temperature so it gets crispy without getting burnt.
- Stir the granola halfway through cooking, to ensure it cooks evenly.
- If you’re using roasted almonds, add salt to taste, as you may not need as much salt.
Substitution Ideas
- To ensure this granola is gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free oats. Many brands are certified gluten-free, but if you have an allergy, make sure you double-check!
- You can replace the maple syrup with honey or agave if needed.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts or pecans in place of the almonds.
