Natural Coconut Granola: the Best Granola in the World

So this is the best granola in the world. I know because I asked everyone I know to try it and they became immediately addicted. So, now I’m writing this up so they can all have the recipe and I won’t have to supply them anymore.

I got the base recipe from this Coco-Nutty Granola recipe at MindBodyGreen.com (I love this website!) and I’ve been experimenting with different ingredients and quantities. I have fun looking in my cupboards and using things I find to change up the combination every time, but I also think I’ve found the magic combination of whole foods (check out recipe below).

This all-natural, all-organic granola is not low-calorie by any means, but it is made of 100% super foods that are gluten-free and you can control the sugar. And if you need a low-sugar delicious green smoothie to go along with it, try this one!

Ingredients

  

• 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
• 2 cups coconut flakes use large flakes, not shredded coconut
• 2 cups organic quick oats
• 2 cups nuts almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc. or seeds (pumpkin, pepita, pine nuts, etc.), chopped roughly - I like to use a combination
• 1/2 cup organic flaxseed
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1 or 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves ginger or other spice of your choice
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut sugar evaporated cane juice or honey, to taste - the amount of sweetener is up to you

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until well combined. Place parchment paper in a cookie or cake pan big enough for one layer of granola.
• Pour granola mixture into pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Stir granola or turn the pan halfway through cooking time.
• If you like it crunchier, let it cook to a darker color. Just keep checking & stirring until you get your perfect crunch!
