Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If your baking sheet isn’t very large, use two smaller sheets.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the warmed honey, coconut oil, vanilla, and almond extracts until combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss together oats, nuts, coconut, and chai spice mix until evenly combined. Add in the honey mixture, and toss until the dry ingredients are evenly coated. Spread the mixture out on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 4
Bake for 20 minutes, removing the sheet from the oven at the halfway point to give the granola a good stir for even cooking. Return sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the nuts are toasted.
Step 5
Remove sheet from oven and cool on a wire rack. Store in a sealed container and keep for up to 3 weeks.
