🥄Ingredients (Makes ~6 cups)
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup whole almonds
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp sea salt
Optional: dried cranberries, white chocolate chips (post-bake)
🔥Step-by-Step: Granola in 4 Moves
1. Crush the Almonds
Lock your cheese shredder hand crank with suction base.
Crushing blade: Feed in almonds → crank for coarse, oily nut crumbs (not powder!).
2. Mix the Dry Team
In a large bowl, toss oats, crushed almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Glaze & Toss
Whisk melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Pour over dry mix. Stir until every oat is shiny—no dry pockets.
4. Bake & Cluster
Spread evenly on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 325°F, stirring halfway, until deep golden. Cool completely—clusters form as it cools.
Pro move: Press flat before baking for big chunks.
Post-bake: Fold in dried fruit or chocolate if desired.
🌟Tips & Twists
Extra Clustery – Pack tightly on the tray; don’t stir too much.
Savory Spin – Skip honey, add rosemary + Geedel-crushed pecans.
Giftable – Jar it with a ribbon—hostess win.
Storage – Airtight up to 1 month (if it lasts).
