It would be dishonest of me to say that I made this up, as I got the bones of this recipe from a dear friend years ago. But what happens every time I make it is that I measure less and less, and we leave it longer and longer for lower and lower temperatures in the oven. It has just taken on a little life of its own. And, thankfully, it’s pretty hard to mess it up.
So experiment away! You’ll never buy overpriced, sugar-laden granola at the store again.

- 1 cup slivered or sliced almonds chopped cashews, pecans, walnuts also work
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients together in a big bowl.
- Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 275, stirring every 30 minutes, for 90 minutes total.

Notes
I highly recommend using homemade roasted almonds in this recipe. Try serving it with homemade dairy-free coconut milk yogurt, raw milk yogurt, or delicious homemade nut milk made with the Almond Cow.
