Maple Coconut Granola

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Maple Coconut GranolaAs per usual, I’m making maple coconut granola in the morning before we leave on a boat trip.  I always make it a point to clean out the fridge before we go, and as I have a really hard time throwing out perfectly good food, I find myself prepping and cooking things that can be enjoyed on our trip.  So besides roasting cauliflower, shredding up cabbage and making banana muffins, I’m throwing together a batch of this delicious maple coconut granola to bring with us.

This drives my husband crazy….while he really, really enjoys the food I bring with us, he’d rather hit the open ocean sooner rather than later!!!  No one tell him that I’m writing this post at the same time, please.

This granola recipe is super easy to customize.  You can switch up the almonds for cashews, omit the dried fruit or even replace it with chocolate chips for a more dessert like treat.  I’ve also subbed out the chia seeds in favour of sunflower which works well too.  This maple coconut granola recipe is a good baseline – have some fun and make it your own!
