Coconut Almond Granola
Sweet and crunchy granola filled with coconut and almonds. So much healthier than store-bought and tastier too.
I never buy granola at the store because it’s just so easy to make and you can throw whatever ingredients you want in there. I also love that it has way less sugar than store-bought granola. For this batch, I kept it really simple–coconut, almonds, and oats. Since I love coconut so much I used coconut oil, coconut extract, and shredded coconut to make this granola extra flavorful. I really love the combination of coconut and almonds so I added sliced almonds and almond extract in there too. I wish you could have smelled my house while it baked because it was AMAZING! This coconut almond granola turned out crunchy and delicious and I especially love the bits of toasted shredded coconut. Yum!
How to Make Coconut Almond Granola
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the oats, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; mix well.
Whisk together the real maple syrup together with the melted coconut oil until well combined. Add the coconut extract and almond extract; whisk until well combined.
Pour the maple mixture over the oats and stir until the oat mixture is evenly coated with the maple mixture. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet.
Place into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for three weeks or freeze it for up to three months. Enjoy.

I would sprinkle them on anything! So fresh, crunchy and delicious.
I’ve spent a lot of money on coconut granola and you’re right – it’s so silly when I can make it at home! This looks great.
This looks like delicious granola. I love two of the ingredients you used-coconut and almonds.
Is that 1/4 cup coconut oil? Looks delicious.
Kathy,
