Homemade Granola with Coconut, Pecans, and Chocolate Chips
It’s no secret that I love granola. It makes an awesome snack or breakfast and is so easy to make at home. I love coming up with new flavor combinations for granola. Maple Pecan, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Nutella Skillet Granola are just a few of my favorites.
This Coconut Pecan Chocolate Chip Granola recipe is ridiculously simple to make — you only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep time! It’s loaded with shredded coconut, coconut oil, honey, pecans and chocolate chips. It has tons of coconut flavor and big clusters with the perfect amount of sweetness.
It’s packed with coconut flavor thanks to the coconut oil and the shredded coconut. If you haven’t tried coconut oil in your granola yet, you’ve gotta give it a try. The coconut oil and honey hold everything together and help get the large clusters everyone loves. They are melted in the microwave to make it easier to coat the old fashioned oats. Skip the store-bought stuff, and give this homemade granola a try!
