When we were first married, and I was beginning my recipe collection, I asked some of my friends if anyone had a granola recipe that they really liked. Granola is one of my favorite cereals and I knew that having a great basic recipe was a must! I lucked out when my friend, Mary, shared her mother-in-law’s recipe with me. It’s been a staple in our home ever since! The original recipe called for 1 1/2 c. brown sugar. I use a combination of honey and sugar, and both ways are delicious.

Oats are my favorite superfood. They have such a mild flavor but add great texture in baking recipes. It’s no secret that I like making sweets. Our cookie jar is never empty, but that doesn’t mean that we eat a lot of junk food. I like adding oats, nuts, and other healthy mix-ins to create healthier treats like our homemade granola bars.

This is a crazy delicious coconut almond granola recipe and it takes only minutes to gather and mix the ingredients. Couldn’t be simpler!

Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Servings 24 1/2 cup servings

Ingredients

8 c. uncooked oats
1 c. coconut
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. honey
1 1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. oil vegetable, canola, coconut
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 c. chopped almonds
1 c. raisins

Instructions

Mix everything together thoroughly (except for raisins) and bake in shallow pans at 275 degrees until coconut is lightly browned, about an hour. Add diced dates and raisins as desired. Granola will set up more as it cools.

There are a million ways to customize this recipe. Don’t like raisins? Add dried cranberries or dates! Lowering your sugar intake? Substitute honey! I used to use all brown sugar, but recently started adding honey in and it didn’t change the texture or crunchiness at all. I haven’t tried using all honey yet, but may do that down the road. The same goes for the oil that you use. Coconut, canola, corn, it really doesn’t matter. Just use what you family has on hand.

You can use this for making homemade granola bars, sprinkling on top of yogurt, snacking on, or with cold milk poured on top. My favorite is with milk. YUM!
