Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced almonds
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups coconut
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoon vanilla
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the nuts, oats, and coconut. Cook, stirring often, for 5-8 minutes or until they are toasted.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low. Add the sugar and vanilla to the pan. Stir until it melts and coats the nuts and oats. Watch carefully or it can burn.
  • Transfer to a large bowl. Let cool, mixing occasionally. I let this granola cool in a bowl so any unmelted sugar will melt and so some clumps will form.
