This is by far the easiest and quickest granola recipe I’ve ever made. It has shredded coconut, oats, coconut oil and some agave nectar to sweeten it. I normally use all sorts of different grains and seeds, soak them, substitute pureed pumpkin or apple sauce for the oil and I also like to use sweet baking spices such as cinnamon, ginger and cloves but this time I kept it very simple and I am so glad I did. You really get to taste the coconut and not a blend of strong sweet spices and since there is very little liquid added to the mixture, it bakes relatively quickly.
It’s important to stir the oat mixture so it bakes evenly and once it looks done, let it set in baking tray until it has cooled completely, store in a jar or airtight container.
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 6 tbsp agave syrup
- 3 tbsp virgin coconut oil, melted
- Dried fruits (optional)
Preheat the oven to 300F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, transfer to the parchment lined baking sheet, bake the granola stirring every once or twice for about 20 minutes or until the mixture looks almost dry and golden brown.
Let the granola cool in the baking sheet and transfer to a jar until ready to serve.
Serve with yogurt, milk or coconut milk and dried fruits of choice.
Yummy! I love how simple this is. I’ve been thinking of making some granola with coconut oil, I can only imagine it tastes amazing
Gönül rahatlığıyla yenilecek çok sağlıklı ve lezzetli bir granola olmuş. Güzel tarifin için teşekkürler, sevgiler.
I love the addition of coconut in this granola! Looks great!
You got my attention with that title – DOUBLE coconut!!! Wow. I also discovered recently that coconut oil is great in granola – heightens the coconut flavor. I love that you use agave instead of sugar/maple. Thanks for sharing.
This is so timely for me! I have guests coming in for the weekend and wanted to make granola to have on hand along with so many other things so this is perfect! Quick, healthy and easy with items already in my pantry!! Thank you Megi!
Great recipe for my breakfast mornings
I just bought some coconut flour to bake something, I love coconut 
I am a fan of homemade granola! They are healthier and tastier. THis looks so lovely.
I haven’t always been a fan of coconut, but I’ve been liking it a lot more lately. This seems like a great way to enjoy it! I’m in a “simple is best” phase at the moment.
Also, I wanted to let you know I did leave a response to your comment about the scones on my blog.
Bu aralar müsli ve granola düşkünlüğüm hat safhada.

Megi, I LOVE this granola. Coconut is one of my favorite things. I will make some of this up to put on my yogurt.
This is a great looking granola! And I love coconut – I should go and buy that coconut oil, I’ve come across it in different recipes several times over the last week.
