• 1 cup of quick cooking (not instant) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup sweetened, shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds (I use slivered)
• 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 Tablespoons of good honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toss the oats, coconut, almonds, oil and honey together in a large bowl until they are completely combined.  Pour mixture onto a sheet pan and bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even golden brown. This takes about 15-20 minutes.  Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring once.

I then serve the granola with honey and greek yogurt.  I use the honey flavored greek yogurt, but plain is good as well.  This is a great way to start the day or have as a snack.  It is also really delicious on ice cream or sprinkled over fruit.  I included a photo below so you could see how I serve it when we have guests over for brunch. I also make it “pretty” for the kids. They seem to think it tastes like a treat that way! Hey, whatever it takes!!
