Granola!

I have been making this granola for a few months now, and love to put it on plain low-fat/fat-free Greek yogurt. The crunchy texture of the granola compliments the smooth texture of the yogurt pretty incredibly! This granola is cheaper than store-bought, easy and quick to make, and is sugar free! I may have stolen it a little from another site, but have made it my own!

Coconut Granola


Ingredients:
4 tablespoons coconut oil
2 cups coconut flakes
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup quick oats
cinnamon (optional, to taste)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. As oven is warming, throw in the coconut oil to melt and the pumpkin seeds to toast. Check on the pumpkin seeds to make sure they do not burn.
2. When oven has warmed, toss all ingredients to combine. 
3. Spread on a tray and bake for about 10-15 minutes. 
4. Throw in the fridge to make this granola extra crunchy. (I end up storing mine in the fridge anyways.)

Enjoy!
