Coconut granola
Instructions
Tips
Coconut granola is a great make-ahead breakfast option. Toast the granola mixture in the oven and store it in an airtight container on the kitchen counter, so you always have it on hand whenever you need a quick breakfast. To get the perfect crunchy and chewy texture, always add chopped, dried fruits after removing the granola from the oven because dried fruit will expand and harden during baking.
Tips
If you are still determining whether the coconut granola is done, look at the colour. It should be golden brown with nicely toasted almonds. It might still be a bit wet or sticky when taking it out of the oven, but it will dry once it cools. Stick to the temperature listed in the recipe when toasting the granola. If the temperature is too high, it can cause the ingredients to burn before they have a chance to dry out and get crispy. Also, remember to stir it, so all the ingredients are evenly exposed to the heat and get a beautiful golden colour.

Crunchy and sweet granola with coconut
Dive into the world of crunchy and sweet granola with coconut flavour. Homemade granola is simply the best, as you only need a few pantry staples to make it. Loved by adults and kids alike, the toasty golden snack is the perfect addition to any breakfast that will keep you going all day long. This coconut granola has a natural and irresistible sweetness from the shredded coconut, and the dried fruits lend extra sweetness and a chewy texture to the batch, making it impossible to resist the fruity flavour mixed in with the hearty oats. Once you try it, you will never go back to the store-bought version.
Add even more coconut
If you cannot resist the tasty coconut flavour, amp it up by adding toasted coconut flakes or diced coconuts and swapping out the rapeseed oil with coconut oil. This triple coconut granola is the ultimate delight for every coconut lover. The toasted flakes bring out a slightly nutty but still sweet flavour and add a crispier texture to the granola. The more you toast it, the deeper the nutty aroma will be. For a lighter flavour, simply add the diced coconuts or flakes late in the baking process so they do not burn.
