Chunky Cinnamon Granola Clusters (Easy, Healthy)

1. Open your oven and make sure you have a rack in the center and one on the top.
2. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
3. Line the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl, whisk egg white until somewhat frothy.
5. In a large mixing bowl add the frothed egg white, maple syrup, sea salt, cinnamon and vanilla and mix until combined.
6. Next, add the sliced almonds, shredded coconut and old fashioned oats and mix until all the dry ingredients are covered in the liquid mix evenly.
7. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish. With a spoon, spread and gently press the mixture into the dish evenly.
8. Place in the oven on the middle rack for 18 minutes.
9. Next, move the dish to the top rack of the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden on top. Keep an eye on it here. Every oven is different. Pull dish out of the oven when the mixture is golden on top.
10. Let granola cool for 15 minutes and then start to break it apart to the size you want your clusters to be. If you’re like me, you’ll need this note: Resist touching or mixing with a spoon. Wait until it is set before breaking apart.
11. Store in a airtight container in the fridge.
