Tropical Coconut Granola
It’s a super simple granola that takes minutes to put together and not too long to bake. The ingredients are simple and the flavor is incredible!
Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- ¾ cup slivered almonds
- 6 tablespoons honey, measured exactly
- 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil, not hardened
- 6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup flaked coconut
- ½ cup Greek yogurt-covered raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal and ¾ cup slivered almonds in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine 6 tablespoons honey, 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt. Microwave for 15 seconds, then stir until well combined.
- Pour the honey mixture into the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Spread it evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, making sure to flip and stir the granola around every 6-8 minutes. Once it begins to turn fragrant and looks lightly toasted, remove it from the oven. It may be soft and not very "granola-like", but it hardens as it dries out so be careful to not overcook it. Mine generally takes about 22 minutes.
- Allow the granola to cool completely and harden up. Stir in ½ cup flaked coconut and ½ cup Greek yogurt-covered raisins before serving or storing.
