Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats
¾ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup ground flax seed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch kosher salt
¼ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons avocado oil
3 tablespoons egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
To a large bowl, add oats, almonds, flax, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
2 cups old-fashioned oats, 3/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup ground flax seed, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch kosher salt
To a separate smaller bowl, add maple syrup, oil, and vanilla and almond extracts. Whisk to combine, then pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir until the oat mixture is evenly coated.
1/4 cup maple syrup, 3 tablespoons avocado oil, 3 tablespoons egg whites, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 2 cups old-fashioned oats
Spread mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. To achieve the giant granola clusters, use a spatula to press everything down into a firm, even layer. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until granola is starting to brown on the edges. If you want the giant clusters, do NOT stir the granola at all while it is baking or while it cools!
Remove from oven when the edges are golden brown, then let cool completely before touching. Break the granola apart into clusters, then store in an airtight container and enjoy!
