There is a picture overload in this post!

I’ve become pretty bad with breakfast  in the last two weeks. I changed my workout routine and started having just a smoothie in the morning.

But I was missing my granola, so I decided to make some. I wonder how I survived two weeks without granola? It only took me 20 minutes to make this on the stove top.

I also loaded is with some good stuff like shredded coconut, almonds, raisins and dried goji berries. I try to make different kinds of granola all the time, but this recipe is already one of my favorite ones!

Making granola on the stove top saves so much time! In this recipe, it is important to toast the oats a little, but not dry them out completely. Then add some coconut oil and sweetener, almonds and shredded  coconut. Add dried fruit like goji berries and raisins at the end. Why both goji berries and raisins? I like them both, but you can use just what you prefer.

 Goji berries come from Asia and are used in Chinese medicine. They are usually available in their dried form here in the US. Natural antioxidant, rich in vitamin C and iron. I like to use them in granola, granola bars and smoothies.

Looking for a new crunchy, flavorful and easy to make granola recipe, why not try this one?

  1. I haven’t actually tried goji berries, but I need too – and I’m always trying new granola recipes! I can’t live without granola for very long either before I start to miss it! This granola looks great Mira!

  2. I love homemade granola! So much better than the store stuff. Never tried it with goji berries, though. Pinning to try later! 🙂

  3. I am always actively looking for different breakfast ideas to add to my weekly menus and this one is certainly going to be added! I’ve never tried to make granola with coconut oil before – sounds so delicious!

  4. I think if I only had a smoothie for breakfast, I would definitely start to miss chewing and crunch. This granola definitely would make up for that!
