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.

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.

Love this granola! So easy and delicious!

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.
Sydney
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!
Erin
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!
brooke
absolutely!
Kimberly Hibler
Omgosh this granola has been on my list to make ever since you posted it! Just finished it up, took a taste test, and I can’t wait to just shovel it into my mouth. I turned the oven off and left it sitting in there for about an hour and everything crisped up so nicely 👌🏻

This looks so yummy! Is serving size meant to be 30g instead of 130g?

Yes, it's 30g. The 1 is meant for one serving of 30g.
