If you’ve been listening to me on the Joy the Baker Podcast, you already know that I have an inner hippy and I like to make my own granola. You also know that I’m absolutely smitten with coconut oil and find any excuse to use it. What you may not know is that this granola is the first time I’ve used coconut oil as a replacement for my favorite granola lubricant, olive oil.
This Coconut Maple Granola is the perfect snacking granola. Sure you could add some to a bowl of Greek yogurt or replace your regular breakfast cereal with it, but when you pour a little in your hand and take your first bite, you might bypass a bowl completely. This is the kind of granola that begs to be eaten directly out of the jar. Perhaps it’s the crunchy roasted almonds mixed with golden oats and coconut or maybe it’s the salty/savory vibe that fuels the addiction. All I know is that this granola is dangerous and I think it’s the coconut oil’s fault! Go ahead, embrace your inner hippy and make some.
