2 and 1/2cupsold fashioned oats1do not use quick oats
1cupwhole almonds
½teaspoonsalt2
½cuppure maple syrup
⅓cupcoconut oil
2packets of chai tea
1/2cupwhite chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and chai tea packet contents. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted and smooth. Pour over oat mixture and stir well to coat everything.
Pour granola onto baking sheet and spread out evenly over entire surface. Mixture will be very sticky. This is ok. Bake for 15 minutes, stir, bake 15 minutes, stir again, bake another 15 minutes, stir once again and bake an additional 30 minutes. Allow granola to cool completely-- the air will help the granola crisp up. Once granola is completely cool, break up chunks (if desired) and stir to distribute evenly. Toss in white chocolate chips. Granola will remain fresh in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 weeks.
