Easy Almond Coconut Granola

April 19, 2021 by brooke 7 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This easy almond coconut granola is hands down the best granola ever. The flavors of toasted coconut, almonds and oats is so perfect. Use to top your ice cream, yogurt bowls or even just eat by the handfuls.

EASY ALMOND COCONUT GRANOLA

I remember the first time I made granola and was shocked to find out how quick and easy it came together, and with very few ingredients. And the best part is its like the kitchen sink, you can easily throw in different kinds of nuts or dried fruits based off what you have on hand. The other reason that I prefer to make it myself is because a lot of the store bought granola is loaded with preservatives that I'd rather not have in this healthy snack.

HOW TO SERVE THIS SIMPLE GRANOLA

This granola is the perfect topping for so many things. You can use it with fresh fruit in a yogurt or smoothie bowl, in a bowl with milk like its a cereal, I like to use it as a salad topping when I'm making a fresh fruit salad, top your ice cream or milkshake with it, or just eat it by the handful which ends up happening a lot at our house.

INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE THIS EASY ALMOND COCONUT GRANOLA

The nice things is most of this you probably already have on hand.

  • oats
  • slivered almonds
  • coconut
  • flour
  • maple syrup
  • coconut oil
  • almond extract
  • cinnamon
  • salt
  • raisins

HOW BEST TO STORE THIS GRANOLA

This homemade granola should be able to last for a few months if stored in an airtight container. Just make sure that if you are using any nuts they have a far enough expiration date, so they won't affect this and go rancid as nuts can do. I sometimes store half in my pantry and the other half in my freezer to give it an even longer life.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 3 tablespoon flour all purpose, wheat, coconut, almond.
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix oats, almonds, coconut and peptides/flour together in a medium size bowl.
  • In a seperate bowl or large measuring cup whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, almond extract, cinnamon and salt.
  • Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread onto baking sheet.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring half way through.
  • Once finished cooking stir in raisins.
  • Let cool, and store in an airtight container.

Notes

I have made this using all different types of flour and it turns out the great every time.
I have added three scoops of collagen peptides instead of flour, and was also totally happy with the results. It works perfectly as a thickening and coating agent.
Feel free to omit raisins, coconut or even almonds. Change them out for your favorite nut or add any dried fruit you want. This recipe is so easy to adjust. Even add some chocolate chips or cocoa nibs if you love having chocolate in your granola.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, but either are just fine.
This lasts for a few months if sealed in an airtight container. Or store in the freezer for longer lasting.

    Your granola is delicious! I’ve made granola previously from several different recipes, and my kids always say it’s just OK. They both gobbled up your granola! I think the almond extract really makes all the difference.

    Love this granola! It’s a crunchy granola which I love. Not too sweet and I’ve used golden raisins, regular Raisins and ever craisins. Can’t go wrong!

    Quick question as this is on my list to make. Could you sub vanilla extract out for almond extract or would that thrown things off? Just trying to minimize purchasing almond extract since I won’t use it as much. Thanks for the guidance!
