Coffee Granola

I’m excited to share my favorite granola recipe with you. This Coffee Granola is a crunchy mix with a hint of coffee flavor.

It’s perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup nuts (like almonds or walnuts), chopped
• 1/2 cup coffee grounds (freshly brewed coffee is best)
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup dried fruit (like raisins or cranberries)

How To Make

1. Preheat Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, and coffee grounds. Stir well.
3. Heat Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil (or butter) over low heat. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed and smooth.
4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix until all the oats and nuts are coated.
5. Spread and Bake: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it’s golden brown and crunchy.
6. Cool and Add Fruit: Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. If you’re using dried fruit, mix it in once the granola is cool.
7. Store: Store your Coffee Granola in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Enjoy your homemade Coffee Granola with milk, yogurt, or just by the handful. It’s a tasty and energizing treat!
