Homemade Cashew and Coconut Oil Vegan Granola

This easy homemade Cashew and Coconut Oil Vegan Granola includes oats, coconut oil, coconut flakes, dried apricots, cocoa nibs and protein powder for a healthy, wholesome breakfast.

I was surprised when I realized I’ve never created my own granola, let alone post it here. So this Cashew and Coconut Oil Vegan Granola is my first foray into the world of granola, and won’t be the last.

Homemade Vegan Granola

Homemade granolas are quick and incredibly easy. Just assemble the ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Spread out on a baking sheet, and bake to dry out and crisp.

This coconut oil granola is healthy, vegan and uses only natural agave syrup and molasses for added sweetness. Ingredients like cashews, sunflower seeds and dried apricots add plenty of nutrients, as well as texture variety.

I suggested added protein with your favorite protein powder, making this granola is a great way to fuel up in the morning, during a hike or post-workout. Try it as snack, as Granola Bars with Cranberry Almond or over for a quick and healthy granola you can enjoy anytime.
