Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups vegan gluten-free brown rice crisp cereal
  • ½ cup coconut chips unsweetened
  • cup roughly chopped almonds
  • ½ cup blanched almond flour finely ground
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Fold with a rubber spatula until small clusters form and the mixture is combined.
  • Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the rubber spatula, gently press the granola into an even layer, keeping the clusters intact as much as possible. Create small gaps at regular intervals to allow air circulation. This will help to crisp up the granola.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the granola clusters are firm enough to flip. Gently flip the granola with a heat-proof spatula, again keeping the clusters intact. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the edges are a deep golden brown and the granola is slightly soft. The granola will crisp up again as it cools.
  • Place the baking sheet on a cooling rack and leave for 30 minutes or until the granola has cooled completely.
