Homemade Coconut Walnut Granola

Jump to Recipe

Making homemade granola is actually one of the easiest recipes to make! It is super simple, and this coconut walnut granola is the perfect “grab and go” snack for summer!

Homemade Coconut Walnut Granola

If you’re like most of us, summer is such a wild time of year with family vacations, barbeques, and on and on. I wanted to create a simple “grab and go” snack to take on all our summer adventures – this homemade coconut walnut granola is it!

The hint of coconut flavor gives it the perfect “summer tropical” vibes, but truthfully I love this granola year-round! It makes me “sort of” feel like I’m on a vacation, ha!

Homemade Granola

Here are a few of the ways I’ve been loving this coconut walnut granola this summer…

Ways to Use Granola

  • As is! I fill it in little snack cups or baggies and toss in my purse. It won’t melt, even in that summer heat, like so many other snacks do.
  • On top of yogurt to create a coconut walnut parfait. I served mine up in a coconut shell for some extra fancy. ;)
  • Smoothie bowls. My husband has been topping his morning smoothie bowls with a sprinkle of this granola.
  • Bake apples with some cinnamon and add this granola on top! It reminds me of an apple crumble dessert, yum!
  • Add it in oatmeal for a crunch!

There are tons of ways to use this homemade granola! I love that it’s simple to make and you can make a large batch at once. Just store your granola in an airtight container (lasts about 3 weeks, if you don’t eat it all up at once).

Homemade Granola

Homemade granola is also such a fabulous gift to give. Fill up a fun container, add a bow, and done! So if you’re headed to the lake this summer or maybe the beach, pack up some for your family, trip-mates, and friends. They’ll be asking for this recipe, trust me!

Homemade Granola Recipe

Let’s talk about the recipe! You know how I like to give you options.

Customize Your Granola

  • Feel free to change up the spices. I loved a bit of cinnamon, but try out your faves! Or leave it out if you want it simple.
  • The coconut oil helps bind everything together but only adds a subtle coconut flavor, so I added unsweetened, shredded coconut as the granola finished baking. Feel free to leave the shredded coconut out if you’re not a coconut lover. Or add sweetened coconut for a sweeter granola.
  • I added roughly chopped shelled walnuts. You could leave your walnuts whole, finely dice them, or a rough chop. Whatever you prefer!

Here’s another tip for making: Grab old-fashioned, rolled oats. Not quick cooking oats!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and walnuts. 
  • In a separate, microwavable bowl, melt coconut oil. Whisk together with maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract. Pour over oats and walnuts. Stir together to combine. 
  • Sprinkle on cinnamon. 
  • Spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula ever 10 minutes. 
  • After 40 minutes, pull out granola, sprinkle on the unsweetened coconut, turn oven off, and return baking sheet to oven. This gives the coconut a slight toast while the granola cools.

    This is absolutely fab! Best recipe ever! Once I tried it, I was hooked (not to mention my kids). This recipe has quickly become a staple in our home. Thank goodness I never have to buy granola in the store again. I like that it makes a perfect snack or breakfast, and you can enjoy this any time of day. Btw, Courtney how do you prefer to serve this granola? I’m sorry if I accidentally missed that. My kids love it with unsweetened, non-dairy milk. Highly recommend everyone to try it.
    Thank you for sharing this with us and all of your useful tips!

    Only rated 4 stars because I’m not a huge fan of coconut. I still thought ti was good, but on the second try I just replaced the coconut with chocolate. Loved it!
