Coconut Cardamom Granola is healthy, nutrient dense breakfast, snack that is loaded with oats, nuts, coconut and flavored with honey, cinnamon and cardamom that impart some warm flavors to this granola. It pairs well with milk or yogurt and fruits but totally good just on its own too!! 

Granola is very popular breakfast and snack food which is also super easy to make. For today's post, I'm sharing this Coconut Cardamom Granola which is my current favorite. Just loving coconut flavor this summer be it Granola, Cookies, or simply coconut yogurt. Add coconut and cardamom in combination and its makes it even more yummmmm!!

What is Granola

Granola an oven roasted dry crunchy mixture consisting of oats, nuts, dry fruits, fats, some flavoring/spices and off course sweetener. These are the basic categories  and you customize your Granola the way you and your family likes. Infact making homemade granola is more healthier and tastier than store bought version. In addition to a healthy breakfast and snack option, granola is very popular food choice to carry on treks/trails and camping since its so lightweight yet nutritious and filling.

This version of Granola is the non-clumpy version more like cereals. Its really easy to make and you can make a big batch too and store in air tight container, stays good for couple of weeks at room temperature. You can serve this over yogurt or milk with some fruits of choice and drizzle of honey (optional). Its the perfect breakfast/snack that keeps you full and going till your next meal.

Now to the recipe...

Step by Step Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 325F. Keep a rimmed baking sheet ready.

In a microwave safe bowl - heat the coconut oil and honey for 30 secs, remove and stir until completely melted and liquid. In another mixing bowl add the oats, salt, cinnamon and cardamom powder and mix. Now add the wet mixture of coconut oil and honey into the oats and mix until well combined.

Now pour this mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Distribute evenly and bake for 15 mins, stir then bake for another 10 mins. Remove from the oven and now add the nuts and coconut (flaked and shredded). Toss and distribute evenly once again. Put it in the oven to bake for another 12-15 mins or until the oats and nice and golden brown and the coconut looks toasted. If you feel the oats are browning too quickly - lower the heat to 300F

Remove, stir again and then let it cool in the pan. When slightly warm add the raisins and once completely cool transfer into an airtight container. The granola will turn crunchy on cooling.

That's it, our crunchy Coconut Cardamom Granola is ready. Serve it with milk/yogurt topped with variety of fruits and drizzle of honey (optional) for that healthy yet quick breakfast option. Enjoy!!

    Outstanding taste & texture!!! My new go-to granola! I just made it today - had to make a few substitutions for some ingredients by using what was in my pantry:
    Garam Masala instead of Cardamom, Unsweetened Coconut Flakes instead of the flaked, Dried Tart Cherries instead of raisins.
    To the Oatmeal, I added some Grape Nut Flakes cereal, some Uncle Sam Original Wheat Berry Flakes cereal, & a shake of Flax & Chia Seed blend. I can't wait to try some of your other recipes. Next up is the Samosa Rolls in my new air fryer. Thank you!!
