Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss nuts through stevia. Microwave, or heat stovetop, the oil, almond butter and extract until melted. Stir, then toss into bowl, coating everything well.
Lay onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes on a low/medium rack, tossing every 5 minutes. If your granola is browning too fast, use a bottom rack for the final 5 minutes.
Remove from oven when nuts and coconut are golden. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Serve dry for on-the-go snacks, or in a bowl of almond milk.
