Granola is a great snack, yogurt topping, and breakfast cereal all in one. This delicious maple almond granola recipe is simple to make with only a few ingredients – most in your kitchen pantry.
Maple almond granola is such a versatile snack. With so many granola varieties on grocery store shelves, making a homemade batch puts you in charge of the ingredients.
Granola Baking Tip: You can bake the granola for the full 25 minutes without tossing the mixture. Once cooled, this will create a texture of large chunks – great for snacking. If you plan to use the granola mostly for cereal or as a topping, toss the maple almond granola mixture halfway through baking. The granola will not stick together as much.
