Vanilla Chai Spiced Granola

Vanilla Chai Spiced Granola

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 25 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: ~3 cups

Description

Crunchy, chewy, vanilla and chai spiced granola. A batch of deliciously spiced oats, almonds and pecans. Perfectly paired with your breakfast fruit & yogurt, milk, or on it’s own anytime of day as a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp chai spice (store bought or homemade, see notes)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • (Optional) 4-5 dried figs, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine oats through chai spice in a medium to large size bowl.
  3. Mix together melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla bean paste (or extract) in a small bowl. Pour over dry ingredients and stir to coat thoroughly. (I like to melt the coconut oil in a measuring cup in the microwave and then add syrup and vanilla to measuring cup for easy pouring).
  4. Pour granola mixture onto baking sheet and press down with a wooden spoon into an even and lightly compacted layer.
  5. Bake for 25 min, stirring halfway through baking.
  6. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan and adding dried figs. (Letting cool completely will help form large crispy clumps in the granola!)

Notes

*This recipe can easily be doubled for a larger quantity.
