I’ve got a thing for a good granola recipe. Like for real. I LOVE granola! It is so easy to make ahead and grab-n-go for hurried mornings. Even if your mornings aren’t rushed {as mine usually are} this is definitely a fantastic way to start your day. It all started with my Easy Toss and Bake Granola recipe that really got me on the granola kick. Since then I’ve made Coconut Butter Granola, Coconut Almond Granola, and Honey Apple Granola. All of them are really delicious – BUT – I have to say, I think this Honey Almond Granola recipe tops them all. In fact, I’m certain that this is my new favorite.
I’ve learned that I can’t just make one batch at a time. I’ve at least got to double it because it flies off the counter so fast I don’t even have time to package it away for the week hardly. So I made a double batch to be sure that I’m covered through the week. Already it’s proven to be so handy for me to just grab as I’m headed out the door to work. Really though, if you are looking for a keeper granola recipe look no farther. This is the recipe for you.
Honey Almond Granola Recipe
This delicious Honey Almond Granola Recipe is filled with wholesome ingredients and is about as quick and easy as it gets! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 4 c. old-fashioned rolled oats I used certified gluten-free oats
- 1½ c. raw sliced almonds
- 1/4 c. raw unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 tsp. fine-grain sea salt
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. ground ginger
- ½ c. coconut oil
- ½ c. honey
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a half-sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, salt, cinnamon and ground ginger. Stir thoroughly to combine.
-
In a small saucepan, melt together the oil, honey and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients & mix well.
-
Evenly spread granola onto your prepared pan. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola should be turning lightly golden. Let the granola cool completely before storing in a ziplock bag or airtight container.
Recipe Notes
As the granola cools it will crisp up for a nice crunchy texture.

About how long does the granola last in a plastic ziplock baggie?
Belverly

Due to allergies what can be substituted for the coconut oil.
Yvonne
I would think you could use any other oil, but I’ve never tried it with anything else so I don’t know how it would affect flavor/texture. I’m guessing olive, vegetable, or canola would be fine?
Mary DuBois
Does the granola need to be in a air-tight container and how long can it be kept?
Yvonne
Yes, definitely keep it in an airtight container. I would say upwards of a week – but possibly longer, it will start to get stale too much longer than that!
I love homemade granola . . this one looks fabulous!! can’t wait to try!!

This is my second time making it, it’s delicious beyond words! I added 1/4 cup of flax seed to both batches and decreased the salt by half and it suits my taste perfect! My whole family loves it, thank you got sharing!!!!
Yvonne
I’m so happy you like it so much! I LOVE it… like SO much! flax is an EXCELLENT addition! Thanks for stopping by :)
Elyse
One more question…how do you think it would be with some almond extract?
Yvonne
Ooh, I think that would be a great addition! Maybe replace the vanilla with almond extract or do half and half, or just add more in addition to the vanilla. Either way, I think it would taste great! Good idea.
Yum! I have a granola recipe scheduled for next week! How crazy how similar we all think!
Yvonne
Super crazy! can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store! I know it will be great :)
Mmm I love granola, and especially with pieces of almonds in it. This looks so divine!
Yvonne
Yes!! The almonds make it extra awesome!
I have a special place in my heart for granola! I’ve always made a vanilla version but honey almond sounds so good! Reminds me of my favorite Honey Bunches of Oats cereal!
Yvonne
Oooh a vanilla version?! That sounds yummy! I may need to experiment with that next!
Nothing beats homemade granola! Thanks for the reminder. Your recipe looks tasty. :)
Yvonne
Oh yes! Nothing better!! Thank you :)

AMAZING! Can’t wait to make this!
Yvonne

Elyse
Could you add dried fruit after baking (craisins or raisins)?
Yvonne
You most certainly can! A lot of my other granola recipes have dried fruit in them, so for this one I decided to leave it out. If you add it, just make sure to add after the granola has baked!
