As you know, I’ve been traveling and visiting friends and family, and now currently on Martha’s Vineyard. I’ve got a few delicious cookbooks posts coming you way, but in the meantime enjoy this simple but delicious recipe for Coconut Granola. It also makes a great travel snack!
Keeping with the raw movement, I decided to test out a granola that needed no baking. By combining some amazing products, I was able to make a delicious granola that you could have ready in less than 8 minutes! By using Tropical Traditions Unsweetened Coconut and Coach Oats, I achieve great chewiness to this granola without adding any preservatives or fake sugars. If you’d like a sweetener granola, drizzle some organic maple syrup and done!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons Raw Almond Butter
3 tablespoons Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil
pinch of vanilla salt
1 cup Coach Oats
1/4 cup Tropical Traditions unsweetened Shredded Coconut

- In a medium bowl, combine oats, coconut and chocolate chunks. Drizzle with nut butter and oil mixture and stir until combined. Add seeds, nuts and dried fruit!

I have a homemade granola recipe, I’d add it to that. I don’t have almond butter, so I’ll have to get some of that to try your granola recipe, which sounds yummy, can’t go wrong with chocolate (my 1st entry)
I would add it to our peanut butter granola bars.
I would make coconut chocolate protein bites! Individually sized balls of chocolate and coconut, add in some dates, nuts, even chocolate chips, and of course some protein powder, and it becomes the perfect snack post workout!
