For the last year I have been so hooked on granola! I love it for snacking and for topping my smoothies. The granola gives my smoothies serious staying power and keeps me full considerably longer than when I leave it off. After trying just about every granola brand and variety offered at Whole Foods (and spending a small fortune on granola), I decided to start experimenting with making my own a few months ago. First I developed this Peanut Butter Chia Seed Granola that I made non-stop for about a month. While I still love that granola recipe, I wanted to develop a new recipe that was almond-based and had less nut butter in it.
Honey Almond & Coconut Granola
May I present to you Honey Almond & Coconut Granola. It took three tries to perfect the recipe but it’s ready to share!
I like to keep my granola ingredients simple. The cost (and the calories!) can really add up if you start including a lot of dried fruits, nuts and other specialty ingredients. I usually challenge myself to make do with what I have on hand because I figure it I have it in my pantry, there’s a good chance you do too!
This recipe includes a mixture of oats, honey, coconut oil, almond butter, dried coconut and sliced almonds. The three flavors I wanted to highlight were honey, almond and coconut. The recipe includes a good bit of honey, which gives it an awesome flavor and sticky/chewy texture. I doubled up on the almonds with almond butter and sliced almonds and also doubled up on the coconut with coconut oil and coconut flakes.
While I don’t mind crunchy granola, I like to soft bake mine so it’s a little chewy in the center. This is a great recipe for that!
You can make this granola in time. I can have it assembled in 5 minutes and it only bakes for about 15 minutes. After a short cooling time, it’s ready to break into clusters and enjoy! This granola is a great snack and also good on yogurt, with milk or on top of smoothies. It also makes a great gift in jars!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
