Coconut Granola Clusters Recipe
Description
This recipe combines old fashioned oats with a variety of nuts and seeds including almonds, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds, as well as coconut flakes to deliver a crunchy and textured granola. Coconut oil and honey are melted and mixed into the dry ingredients, coating them evenly to bind clusters upon baking. Brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness and helps caramelize the mixture.
The granola is spread in a thin layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked at 325°F for around 30 minutes or until golden. Cooling at room temperature allows the clusters to set and harden so they can be broken apart easily. The combination of seeds and coconut delivers a rich nutty flavor and varied crunch while the honey and brown sugar provide mild sweetness and caramel notes.
This granola is convenient for portioning into snack bags or serving with milk or yogurt for breakfast. Storing in an airtight container maintains freshness and crunch.
