I brought snacks for my strength trainer @benspowerandfitness and @ekjones14 training partner today. This is the second time I’ve made this granola and this will definitely be a staple recipe.

I have @minimalistbaker to thank for this incredible recipe! I only slightly adapted her original “Super Chunky Coconut Granola” recipe to create what we have here: the most perfect granola clusters I’ve ever had! 😍

The Perfect Granola:

3 cups oats

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almonds, chopped

1 cup pecans, chopped

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons coconut oil

2/3 cup maple syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup Craisins (I left the Craisins out of this version)

Preheat your oven to 325F.

In a pot over medium/low heat, melt the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt and brown sugar together. Remove from heat once the sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and stir together.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconuts, pecans, and almonds.

Pour the maple syrup mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture and stir well until fully coated.

Dump the granola onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the sheet around and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool completely.

Break off clusters as large as your heart desires and sprinkle the Craisins all over.

Pieces of granola have their place in my heart, but nothing beats a big cluster of granola if you ask me! It’s perfectly sweet, crunchy, salty, and of course…addictive!
