No need to pack your bags because Homemade Coconut Granola is serving up tropical tastes, sans the travel outside your kitchen. This flavor-packed twist on my go-to granola recipe stars plenty of shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts and dried pineapple. All that’s missing is the sand between your toes (and maybe a piña colada … or two)!

This quick and easy recipe starts with a quick toast of the oats and nuts to bring out their big flavors before stirring in shredded coconut to form the base of your dry ingredients.

And in the spirit of simplicity, your wet ingredients can be counted on one hand: honey, oil, egg whites and vanilla extract. The egg whites ensure your resulting granola is crispy, while the honey lends a touch of sweetness.

Once you’ve combined the wet and dry ingredients, the granola goes into the oven until it has baked up golden brown. And then one it has cooled, all that’s left to do is stir in the dried pineapple, which I’ve chopped into pieces to ensure a bit of chewy sweetness in every bite.

Enjoy a handful of granola as a snack or serve it up with your choice of yogurt, milk and fresh fruit for a power-packed breakfast. And if you’re a granola guru but prefer it on the go, don’t miss my favorite Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola Bars!
