Coconut Cardamom Granola
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.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts using mix of almonds, walnuts and pecans
- ¼ cup flaked coconut
- ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- 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. Keep aside.
- 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.
- Pour this mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Distribute evenly and bake for 15 mins. Remove from the oven, stir and 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.

Notes
