What’s In This Granola Recipe with Coconut Flakes?

• Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well while being baked.
• Unsweetened Coconut Flakes – I used these fantastic coconut flakes which added the perfect flavor and crunch. I always keep a few bags of these coconut flakes in my pantry for a quick breakfast topping or to use to make homemade coconut milk.
• Almonds: these giant bags of almonds are a great value from Amazon – they are raw and unsalted so they are perfect to toast up in this granola! 
• Maple syrup: for natural sweetness without the refined sugar, I’d definitely recommend using a natural maple syrup over sugar in this recipe.  And don’t even think about using fake pancake syrup… only the real deal maple syrup in this recipe!  (Being married to a Canadian, I have to add that disclaimer)  🙂
• Walnuts: because I love adding heart-healthy and brain-healthy ingredients to my foods when I can. I stocked up a few bags of these walnuts which are super cheap and a great value for the quality.
• Coconut Oil: I love keeping a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and also a really nice skin moisturizer outside the kitchen.

How Do I Make This Coconut Granola Recipe?

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the the oats, coconut flakes, walnuts, almonds and pinch of salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.  Add the liquid mixture to the bowl.  Fold together until the maple syrup mixture has coated every oat, coconut flake, and nut.
3. Pour granola mixture onto the parchment paper, and using a spatula spread it out evenly over the paper and press down with the spatula.  The harder you press the oats down, the chunkier the granola will be.
4. Bake granola for 18 minutes, then remove from oven, turn the pan around, and bake for another 5. Do not stir or flip the granola. 
5. Remove from oven and allow granola to fully cool.  The granola will harden more as it cools, and will form thick chunks.  Add to cereal, yogurt bowls, or parfaits.
