Notes
*If you made your almond milk with coconut oil, you can omit the coconut oil in the recipe.
If you would rather make this in a food processor, follow the same steps. The process is a bit quicker since the nuts and dates mix a bit better there, but I like to do it in the blender, so I don’t have to clean another tool.
Feel free to store leftover almond pulp for up to 5 days in the refrigerator before making this granola.
