Coconut & Cashew Butter Granola (Nature's Path Copycat Recipe)
Description
The Coconut & Cashew Butter Granola recipe starts with blending smooth cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, and optional vanilla to create a wet mixture. Rolled oats, roasted whole cashews, and coconut flakes are then stirred in, coating all dry ingredients. Baking is done initially at 300°F (149°C) for 20 minutes to toast, followed by a lower heat for 20 to 30 minutes to slowly dry and crisp the granola without burning the coconut flakes or cashews.
This baking approach results in granola with a balance of chewy and crunchy textures, and a mildly sweet nutty flavor dominated by cashew butter and coconut. The recipe avoids excessive sweetness and uses natural ingredients replicating a popular granola profile. Cooling completely on the baking sheet allows the granola to harden and cluster slightly.
The granola is ready to eat as cereal, topping yogurt, or snacks. It stores well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

- Keep an eye on how quickly the cashews and coconut flakes are browning.
- Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Transfer granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
