Top your favorite yogurt with this easy, homemade coconut granola. It's hearty and perfect for snacking! Made with shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, coconut oil, and maple syrup.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a bowl, combine maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Pour over oat mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheet. Granola will harden more as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Old fashioned oats are highly recommended, but can be substituted with quick cook oats. They'll take less time to cook because they're thinner - about 20 minutes.
Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or brown sugar.
Coconut can be sweetened or unsweetened - depending on how sweet you'd like your granola.
One serving = about ½ heaping cup of granola
Coconut oil can be refined or unrefined. Unrefined will add more coconut flavor.
