You will love the taste of this nutritious granola!  It has a hint of almond crunch with the perfect coconut and maple combination. 

A food switch that works for us...we use to buy store bought cereal and granola, my oldest son loves his cereal! When I started reading food labels most of what we were buying had and lots of unhealthy ingredients.  And then when we zoned in and found the healthier store bought granola, they were so expensive.  So I played around with this homemade recipe until the flavour combination was perfect.

Top 3 reasons why we love this granola, its is a good a source of...

• protein
• fiber 
• healthy fat

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix the wet ingredients in another bowl.

Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients and give it a really good stir so that everything is evenly coated.

Pour onto the baking tray and evenly spread the granola out.

Once its done baking take it out of the oven, add in the shredded coconut and stir. Ya gotta try this recipe, your gonna love it way better than store bought cereal.
