Calories 301kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1 large egg white lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Toss the oats, coconut, cashews, flaxseed meal, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl.
- Stir the butter mixture into the oat mixture to combine, and then stir in the egg white to coat.
- Spread the granola out onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
- Cool to room temperature, and then transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- Each serving is a slightly heaping 1/2 cup.
- In this recipe, egg white acts as a binder, and will help your granola stick together and form clumps.
- Vegan Version: Use coconut oil instead of butter and omit the egg white.
