Hey Recipe Critic readers!! Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Apron here for one of the last recipes in the month of January. Which means it’s obviously still a healthy recipe, or is everyone done with their healthy eating resolutions by now?
Regardless of resolutions or none this is a recipe you’ll want to make again and again! It’s a super simple granola that takes minutes to put together and not too long to bake. The ingredients are simple and the flavor is incredible!
You can also choose to customize what you mix into this granola – I did flaked coconut and yogurt covered raisins. The raisins were actually covered in Greek yogurt which gave them a delicious tang and a great complement to this granola — very highly recommended!
Enjoy everyone 🙂

Tropical Coconut Granola
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- ¾ cup slivered almonds
- 6 tablespoons honey, measured exactly
- 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil, not hardened
- 6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup flaked coconut
- ½ cup Greek yogurt-covered raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal and ¾ cup slivered almonds in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine 6 tablespoons honey, 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt. Microwave for 15 seconds, then stir until well combined.
- Pour the honey mixture into the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Spread it evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, making sure to flip and stir the granola around every 6-8 minutes. Once it begins to turn fragrant and looks lightly toasted, remove it from the oven. It may be soft and not very "granola-like", but it hardens as it dries out so be careful to not overcook it. Mine generally takes about 22 minutes.
- Allow the granola to cool completely and harden up. Stir in ½ cup flaked coconut and ½ cup Greek yogurt-covered raisins before serving or storing.
