Grain-Free Coconut Granola (Paleo Friendly!)
Coconola? Coconut Granola? I The truth is, homemade granola is easy to prepare and tastes like pure awesomeness. Sweet and crunchy, oh yes! The only thing that could make it better is coconut. And not just shavings or coconut chips here and there of the good stuff -- I'm talking a full-on coconut takeover.
This coconola (coconut granola) is decadent but not over-indulgent. It's got the perfect crispy crunch, plus you achieve huge granola clusters. Largely-sized clusters are a major plus in granola.
Pair it with nut mylk or yogurt for breakfast, or sprinkle it over berries and whipped coconut cream for dessert. Or simply eat it straight up. This is one recipe you're going to LOVE!
What You'll Need To Know
Preheat the oven to 325F degrees.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Melt the coconut oil and pour it in a small bowl.
Pour the oil and honey over the dry mixture and stir to combine and evenly coat. If using collage peptides, add 1 scoop and mix together.
Spread the granola on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.
Stir, then bake an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the granola to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container.
