Ingredients

• Oats: I use organic rolled oats, but you can use gluten free oats if you want to make this gluten free.
• Coconut: I use organic unsweetened wide flake coconut. Be sure it's unsweetened as we are sweetening this granola ourselves, so no need for added sugars in the coconut.
• Almonds: I use whole almonds here, but you can also used sliced or slivered almonds too. If you want to use different nuts, pecans, walnuts, or cashews are all wonderful in place of almonds.
• Quinoa: I add organic quinoa into this homemade granola for added protein and it makes this super crunchy!
• Vanilla Bean: I use organic ground vanilla bean in place of vanilla extract here as I like the deeper flavor it provides. Also, I avoid adding in vanilla extract into hot liquid as it can just burn off. But, it will work in its place, just let your liquid cool a little bit before adding it.
• Coconut Oil: I use organic coconut oil for more coconut flavor. And this is a higher quality oil than processed seed oils that you'll find in most all store bought granola.
• Honey: Organic raw honey is a natural sweetener and it also makes this granola cluster up incredibly well!

Baker's Tips

• Use a digital food scale for the ease as it's so simple to weigh everything into the mixing bowl and pot.
• Parchment paper is key for granola. This will ensure you can easily remove the granola.
• If you're gluten-free, just ensure you are using gluten free oats.
• Stirring the granola will ensure it bakes evenly and you don't have burnt edges and and underdone center. So, ensure that you stir completely to move outer granola in and inner granola out.
• Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 1 month.

How to Make Honey Almond Coconut Granola

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the oats, coconut, almonds, quinoa, and vanilla bean and set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, water, honey, and salt.

3. Cook on medium/high heat until everything is combined. Remove from heat and add the sea salt. Stir to combine completely. Pour the sugar mixture over the oat mixture and fold to combine and completely coat the oats.

4. Pour the sugar mixture over the oat mixture.

5. Fold to combine and completely coat the oats.

6. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread out into an even layer across the baking pan.

7. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and stir to rotate granola. Bake again for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.

8. Break up the granola clusters and store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 1 month.

What to Serve with Honey Almond Coconut Granola

• The classic way is in a bowl with your favorite milk, just like cereal along with
  Iced Blueberry Latte and fresh fruits.
• Make a yogurt granola bowl by adding your favorite yogurt, a couple scoops of granola, and toppings. Try combos like vanilla yogurt with berries, apricots, raisins, cherries, or coffee yogurt with a few dark chocolate chips.
• Enjoy with Fluffy Scrambled Eggs With Sour Cream, Bone Broth Sausage Mushroom Frittata, Everything Bagel Turkey Breakfast Sausages or Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages for a high protein breakfast.
• I love having for breakfast with Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie With Collagen or Tropical Cranberry Smoothie.
