This Crunchy Coconut Almond granola is incredibly healthy and delicious. The proportions are forgiving so adjust everything to your tastes. Makes a lot and freezes well! I bring this to every new mom as it makes the perfect midnight nursing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Oats (NOT instant!)
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar (Use up to a cup if you’d like more sweetness)
  • 1 cup Shredded coconut (more or less is fine, sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sliced or chopped Almonds
  • 1 cup chopped Pecans, sunflower seeds, or more almonds
  • 2 cups crushed Cornflakes
  • 1/4 cup Wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup Flaxseed meal
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 tbsp Molasses
  • 1 stick Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In really large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients and stir (you may want to use your hands to work the brown sugar clumps through.)
  3. Melt next 3 ingredients (honey, molasses, and butter) over stove and then pour over oat mixture and mix well.
  4. Add ¼ -½ cups of water into the pan you melted the honey/butter/molasses in, swirl, then pour into granola. Work through until moistened but not wet.
  5. Spread and pat down in 2 lightly sprayed or greased baking sheets and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, stirring well halfway through.
  6. After baking, leave undisturbed in baking sheets until completely cooled. (Note: The granola will not seem crispy enough when you remove it from the oven. This will be achieved through the cooling. Be careful not to burn the granola.)
  7. Remove from pans with spatula. At this point, you can stir in raisins, other dried fruit, or even mini chocolate chips.
  8. This granola stores and freezes well.

Notes

From Diane: This recipe is VERY forgiving in proportions. For many of the ingredients, it is just how much you personally want to put in.
