Granola is such a great way to start the day: slow releasing oats, fibre, protein-rich nuts and a yummy crunch! So what’s the problem? We’re glad you asked. Most store-bought cereals are heavily processed, loaded with sugar and likely to leave you feeling sluggish by 11am. If you want to stay natural, healthy, and avoid that mid-morning crash, then you’re in luck: our awesome contributor Kelly (@EatPrayCook_) has shared her amazing coconut granola recipe with us. Super-easy, super-healthy, and best of all, super-yummy! Read on to find out how to make your own!
What you’ll need:
- 1 large kilner jar
- 2 cups oats
- 1/4 cup mixed seeds
- 1/3 cup nuts of your choice (we used walnuts)
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or Coconut Syrup!)
- 5 tablespoons melted Coconut Oil
- 2-3 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 cup toasted Coconut Chips
- 2 cups oats
