Why You’ll Love This Homemade Honey Coconut Granola

1. Simple Ingredients – No need to hunt for anything fancy. This granola recipe uses everyday ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, like oats, honey, coconut, and walnuts.

2. Sweet & Nutty Flavor – With the perfect balance of honey, coconut, and walnuts, this granola hits that sweet spot. The brown sugar adds just enough richness without making it too sugary.

3. Packed with Goodness – Flaxseeds and walnuts bring healthy fats and a good dose of fiber, and the coconut oil adds a subtle richness that makes each bite irresistible.

4. Versatile – Eat it with milk, over yogurt, or just by the handful (trust me, you’ll be reaching for seconds). It’s a snack that feels indulgent but is packed with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• whole oats – These provide the hearty base of your granola and deliver that lovely crunch.
• vanilla – Adds a bit of warmth and depth to the flavor.
• raw honey – Natural sweetness that binds everything together and gives your granola that perfect golden hue.
• shredded or chunked coconut – Adds chewiness and tropical flavor. I like to use shredded coconut for more texture.
• chopped walnuts – Nutty and satisfying, walnuts give this granola a hearty crunch.
• flaxseeds – Packed with omega-3s, these tiny seeds bring a nutty flavor and a nutrition boost.
• brown sugar – Just a touch to round out the sweetness. It also helps with that golden, caramelized finish.
• salt – Balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors in the other ingredients.
• coconut oil, melted – Adds richness and helps your granola crisp up perfectly in the oven.
• raisins – A sweet pop of flavor in every bite. Feel free to swap in dried cranberries or other dried fruit if you prefer.

• Don’t skip the stirring: Stir the granola halfway through baking to make sure everything crisps up evenly. This will help it turn out golden and crunchy.
• Customize it: This granola is super versatile. If you’re not a fan of walnuts, try pecans or almonds. Add a handful of chocolate chips after it cools for a sweeter touch. The base recipe is perfect for experimenting with what you like.
• Keep an eye on it: Granola can go from perfectly toasted to burnt in the blink of an eye. Check it every 5–10 minutes as it nears the end of the baking time.
