ever since i discovered extra virgin coconut oil in the healthfood store i have been a bit obsessed with it and using it in all kinds of ways (some better than others..).it is just so versatile: from cooking thai and indian curries, to making crepes, cookies and even cosmetics.. but for anyone who loves coconut as much as i do, this granola will be a major hit!
ingredients:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw walnuts (or macadamias, cashews)
3 tbs flax seeds
4 tbs honey
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup raw sugar
pinch of salt
directions:
preheat oven to 300F
combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
combine coconut oil with honey, adding a spoonful of warm water. add to oats and stir until coated. cover the bottom of a large pan/ cookie sheet
with parchment paper and spread mixture evenly in a thin layer. bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15mins until golden, but not brown. NOTE mixture will become more crispy once it cool out of the oven.
enjoy on greek yogurt, kefir, with cold milk or any other way you like granola!next time i think i'll add pieces of dried apricots :P
