Granola is one of my favorite foods -- definitely in my top 10. It is one of those things I don't buy at the store because making it at home is 100 times better. This nutty coconut granola is everything I want and more -- it makes every morning bowl of greek yogurt a special treat!
If you're looking for a different variety, perhaps you'd like our Chocolate Granola (dark chocolate... its healthy, I promise), this lighter Maple Almond Granola or this fall-inspired Pumpkin Spice Granola (dare I say, I'm looking forward to Fall and making this after these scorching temps in Chicago!).
