Coconut Hemp Granola

October 16, 2014 6 Comments

Coconut-Hemp-Granola Big clusters of oats, seeds and nuts? Check. Shredded coconut for extra yumminess? Check. Ability to suffocate my yogurt? Check, check, check.

Apparently, this granola is a big ol’ winner ’round these parts.

Chopped-Walnuts It’s not just good on yogurt, either. It’s also yummy as a cereal replacement with a bit of almond milk. Yum. Or you can just shovel it into your mouth with your hands. No bowl required. I don’t judge.

Coconut-Granola Feel free to add dried fruit in there, too. I just didn’t feel like any this day. So I left ‘er naked. Yep. I went there. Talking about nudity on the blog. This granola makes me do naughty things.

Vegan-Coconut-Hemp-Granola I limited the amount of sweetener in this granola, since most store-bought varieties make me want to gag with how sweet they are. If you add dried fruit, you may even be able to cut down the sweetener a bit more. Hooray for less sugar!

I also added coconut because I opened my pantry and it was staring at me. No really. That’s the only reason. Luckily, it worked out well for me and actually tastes amazing with the walnut, oat and hemp seeds. It’s a good thing I didn’t ruin a whole batch of granola just because I saw some coconut sitting on a shelf and though “why not?”. That would be embarrassing.

In our house, a bath of granola lasts about 2 weeks. With this one, it was gone in less than 1. Okay, so most of that was me just eating it directly from the pan, warm from the oven. But still. That’s improvement!

    This was a huge hit with my teenage girl!! She announced this morning that “making this is a regular thing now and everyone at school loves it too.” Turns out the kids at school called it bird seed and so she offered samples.
    Thanks for making me look good 🙂

    Really delicious. I added raw cocoa nibs, which I would recommend. I added the shredded coconut for the second bake and it came out perfect.
