Coconut Granola Recipe

Get in my belly! This granola makes Foxi do happy backflips and it is perfect for an any - time - of - day snack! It is super simple to whip up and the kids and Dino LOVE it! We usually make a big batch on Mondays to have on hand throughout the week! And if you solely bake this for how yummy it makes your house smell, then we won’t judge - SO. WORTH. IT.

This easy homemade Coconut Granola is great with yogurt or by the handful!
Ingredients:  2 cups old fashioned oats ¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, finely chopped ½ cup finely chopped almonds 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt  4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted ½ cup pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone slip mat. I use a throw away pan just for convenience purposes, it can get sticky and they are super easy to find at Target!
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, almonds, brown sugar cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients. Stir until dry ingredients are well - coated.
3. Pour the granola mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Spread granola into an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes or until granola is golden - brown, stirring every 10 minutes. Let granola cool completely. Store in airtight container for up to 1 month!

Enjoy!
