Coconut almond granola is a delicious sweet, crunchy granola, bursting full of flavor. Its perfect with milk, fruit, or yogurt, or delicious plain for a quick breakfast or snack!
I love granola! Its so crunchy and tasty and perfect for breakfast or a snack. I love it with milk like a bowl of cereal, over yogurt, and I love it both ways with chopped up fruit on top. Its so good though I could just eat it by the handful plain too. This coconut almond granola is the perfect way to have it!
I love that homemade granola is so easy to make and so customizable. You can make it plain, or add in your favorite dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. This coconut almond granola has just that, granola with coconut and almonds mixed in. You’ll also add some coconut oil, and a dash of almond extract too.
You only need 9 ingredients to make this granola. You’ll need oats, chopped almonds, and shredded coconut. Then for your wet ingredients you’ll need brown sugar, honey, coconut oil, vanilla, almond extract, and a dash of salt. You’ll pour it over the granola to make it sticky, and crunchy, and as it bakes up that’s how you’ll get the nice big clusters of granola throughout.
Its delicious, crunchy, flavorful goodness that is so much better than store bought!

I’ve been making a granola recipe very similar to this for years but it was missing the key ingredient-HONEY! You are right, this is what it needed to have the delicious clusters. It was very easy to make and I love how it continued to form while cooling on the counter. Great ideas and tips! I have favorited your site and I appreciate the concept of a mother-daughter blog. I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes 🙂

This granola is fabulous! I dial back on the brown sugar and add more salt just based on how I like my granola, and it is perfect. It does take double the time to bake in my oven (40-45 minutes) but it is so delicious I don’t mind at all. I make it every week! Thank you for a lovely recipe.

Hi Sara! I went ahead and added the nutritional facts to the recipe card, just a reminder that they are estimates, as different ingredients have slightly different nutritional values, and measuring can change from person to person. I’m so glad you love it though!
