Adam loves granola with yogurt, so I have been looking at every bag of granola around and all of them are loaded with extra sugar, oils, fillers, just grossness! It is crazy how you don't realize what you are eating until you open your eyes and read labels. So I decided I would experiment in the kitchen and come up with a clean version of granola. This is what I came up with, and believe me, it is IN-CRAY-AB-LE' (translation: INCREDIBLE in Brittany speak).
Coconut Almond Granola
-2c. Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (I use Bob's Red Mill Organic Rolled Oats)
-1/2c. Almonds, coarsely chopped
-1/2c. Shaved, unsweetened coconut
-3 TBS. Raw Honey
-1 TBS. Coconut Butter
-1 tsp. Vanilla
-Pinch of salt
-In a mixing bowl combine dry ingredients.
-In separate bowl mix together honey, coconut butter & vanilla.
-Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Prepare to get messy, you need to mix with your hands to get it thoroughly coated.
-Pour the granola out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-Bake 10-15mins at 300 degrees.
-Let granola cool completely. Break into chunks, and store in an airtight container.
Makes about 8 servings.
Serving size 1/4c.
