- 1/4 cup almonds raw unsalted, left whole
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 325 F. Add the oats, chopped almonds, whole almonds, cinnamon and salt to a mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the coconut oil or butter and add the vanilla, granulated sugar and maple syrup. Mix well and turn off the heat when combined. Pour the vanilla and maple mixture into the bowl with the oats and stir well.
Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray. Pour the oat mixture on the tray and spread the oats out. Bake for 10 minutes, then take the pan out and stir/flip the oats. Place the tray back in the oven for 10 minutes, then let it cool for 10 minutes before storing in a container. Serve with yogurt, cottage cheese or eat it on its own!
