This Triple Coconut Granola is delicious, healthy, and simple. Shredded coconut, coconut oil, and coconut chips make this granola outrageously tasty.
Cabin Mornings, Made Delicious
If I had it my way, I would be at the cabin every weekend. Coffee on the porch, lazy pontoon rides, unlimited games of Cribbage and Solitaire, long walks, yard games, designated cocktails depending on the time of day, bonfires, dry martinis, and cranking the “Crooners” playlist across the lake.
Oh, and the food. Let’s not forget that.
Being the planner that I am, there’s a high level of strategy that goes into eating at the cabin. Regardless of the meal, at least one part will have been prepared in advance or planned on. Pasta salads, breakfast bakes, roasted potatoes (they can be sliced and prepped, you know…), cookies, trail mixes, or a batch of hummus. Basically, every minute of the day – I’m preparing to have something on hand to munch on.
This Triple Coconut Granola is one of my favorite things to prep for simple and light breakfasts at the cabin. Read on to learn more about this yummy granola that I always like to have on hand.
How To Make Triple Coconut Granola
This granola is perfect sprinkled over yogurt, served over almond milk, or straight munched on by the handful. However you eat it, I guarantee you’ll grab an extra spoon/handful. This granola includes:
- Shredded coconut
- Coconut oil
- Coconut chips
It’s combined with oats, nuts, maple syrup, and vanilla and baked until it’s toasty and crisp. I find that this granola lasts for about 3 weeks until it starts getting a little soggy, although this depends on the vessel you’re storing it in. Also, good luck having it last 3 weeks! Normally a batch of this Triple Coconut Granola lasts 5 days in my house!
Ways To Enjoy Triple Coconut Granola
Although it’s delicious nibbled straight from the palm of your hand, there are a few tasty ways to enjoy this crunchy granola:
- Sprinkled over a bowl of your favorite yogurt with fresh berries
- Served with a splash of almond milk
