Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together oats, oat flour, chopped almonds, sea salt, cinnamon, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using).
Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oat milk. Stir until well-coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Allow granola to cool completely on the baking sheet for several hours to crisp up.
Transfer cooled granola to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
For extra crunch, let granola cool on the baking sheet before storing.
Add dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips after baking for variety.
Swap maple syrup with honey or agave for a different flavor.
