    Healthy Delicious Coconut Oil Granola is loaded with healthy nuts, seeds, dried cranberries, and oats. It's the perfect snack for any time you're craving something delicious and nutritious.

    Healthy Coconut Oil Granola

    I'm a nut for any variety of nuts or seeds, so when I make granola, I like to pack it full of all my favorites.

    Healthy Coconut Oil Granola

    If you've never made your own granola, I'm here to encourage you to do so. Once you see how easy and flavorful it is, you'll never go back to the store-bought variety. Plus when you make your own you can tailor it to your favorite healthy ingredients, adjust the sodium to your desired level, and say good-bye to all those pesky additives and preservatives.

    Healthy Coconut Oil Granola

    For this granola, I've chosen to use raw cashews and almonds because they're healthier when raw. And because they'll be roasted in the oven along with the other ingredients, giving them a uniquely sweet and savory flavor roasted flavor.

    If you choose to use already roasted and salted nuts for this recipe, that's fine. Just remember to cut back on the amount of salt called for in the recipe.

    1 cup raw cashews
    1 cup raw almonds
    1 cup shelled pistachios
    1 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
    ½ cup unsweetened coconut
    1 cup dried cranberries

    -Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even brown color. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack. Add the dried cranberries and it's ready for munching!

      Coconut oil and maple syrup?! Totally my kind of recipe! And I agree with you - homemade granola is totally the way to go. 🙂

      I love homemade granola and try to keep a batch made all the time. I've never made it with coconut oil and don't really know why except that I just don't think to do it. Your recipe sounds fantastic and I'm bookmarking it to try later in the week!

      I made a batch of granola today to send in a care package to my son in college. I've used coconut sugar but have no idea why I haven't tried using coconut oil! Great idea and this looks really delicious!

      I love granola and am so happy it's easy to make gluten free. I only use coconut oil now. And love that yours is also made with unrefined sugars. All the nuts and fruit look so good.

        I tried to make it as healthy as possible, Katrina. I made it for a friend who is battling illness. Glad you like this recipe. It's one of my favorites too.
