Coconut-nut Granola Recipe
I love the sweet, nutty crunch of the coconut and nuts in this healthy granola recipe. This granola recipe is packed with almonds, walnuts, and wheat germ, which combine to deliver a fantastic crunch. This granola recipe also has coconut and honey to sweeten up the mix, but it is not overpowering. Between the oats, nuts, coconut, cranberries, and wheat germ, this granola recipe is loaded with vitamins and minerals which will keep your body functioning at top level performance. I keep a bag of this granola recipe in my desk drawer so I can enjoy a healthy snack to get me through the long work day.
