Coconut Almond Granola

Sweet and crunchy granola filled with coconut and almonds. So much healthier than store-bought and tastier too.

Coconut Almond Granola

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 and it has way less sugar than store-bought granola. For this batch, I kept it really simple–coconut, almonds, and oats, and since I love coconut so much I used coconut oil, coconut extract, and shredded coconut to make this granola extra flavorful. This coconut almond granola turned out crunchy and delicious and I especially love the bits of toasted shredded coconut. Yum!
