Caramelized oats filled with crunchy coconut, nuts and dried fruit
Granola. Bread. Cookies. The three recipe formulas I have memorized.
However, with each new variation, I run the risk of losing the recipe if I don’t write it down right away. & most of the time I don’t.
& when I do, it’s on a scrap piece of paper that I carelessly toss in my “cookbook corner.”
When a post is approaching and I remember I have to type up the recipe, my heart starts to beat rapidly with the fear that I’ve lost that vital information.
I’ve been trying to do better by typing them up right away, but at the moment I have nearly 20 recipes that haven’t been officially saved!
This granola, however, I made sure I saved right away because I’m pretty sure it’s one of my new favorites. You can never have too many granola favorites can you?
Today I’m sharing this recipe on My Cooking Spot, so be sure to check it out π
Or stick around here and check out some of my go-to granolas:
Do you have a recipe organization system?
Mmm I love the flavor of this granola, Megan! I’ve been hooked on almond butter lately, so I have a feeling I would devour this ALL!
The almond butter really gives these oats a delicious taste! Thanks Gayle π
Oh gosh, I have so many of those scraps myself – spattered with all kinds of things, and in bad handwriting. Thank goodness you kept this delicious one!
When I write them down I think I’ll have no trouble figuring out what they mean later – but then I spend hours trying to read what they say! – if I can find them π Thanks Kate!
Granola is the best, isn’t it? Perfect for snacks and better for breakfast! I totally understand what your saying about not writing recipes down or having pieces of paper everywhere! I’m trying to keep myself a little more organized and finalize the write up of them quickly before I forget the little details. This recipe looks delish!
Yes, I’m trying to do better, too, Dawn. Thanks!
I am a huge fan of homemade granola. This is a great combo of flavour, Megan.
Thanks Angie, fellow granola fan π
Wonderful granola! Looks perfect over some plain yogurt!
I agree! Thanks Eva π
Caramelized Oats :O
ha ha! Thanks Rebecca!
I do that too, but with pics. I’ll have the pics in my inbox unedited, and I’ll have to get to them right away or else lose track of where they are!
This looks like SUCH a good breakfast!
Oh yeah, Mir! I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve been trying to organize my pics into folders, but some still get lost!! Thanks π
the granola sounds wonderful Megan! and yes that happens with me too, have lost so many recipes that way!
eek! It’s the worst! Thanks Manali π
I have all of my recipes written down in a tablet, but sometimes I forget to write the amounts correctly, etc. When I really love something I try to type it up in WordPress right away while it’s fresh — I can’t stand when I don’t do that! I’m glad you kept this recipe because this granola looks like a winner! Love the almond butter in here. π
That’s a great idea, Marcie! I’ll have to try that! Thank you π
You are so creative,I’m loving your granola recipes
Thanks John! More are brewing π
I love all your granola recipes, this one looks especially delicious!
Thanks so much, Katie!!!
I love homemade granola. This version sounds perfect for my breakfast over yogurt!
Definitely! Thanks Kathy!
βCookbook corner.β Lol. Yup, I have something akin to this. It’s called the messy array of sticky notes on my cupboards. Such a tentative “organizational” system. Haha. And THIS: “When a post is approaching and I remember I have to type up the recipe, my heart starts to beat rapidly with the fear that Iβve lost that vital information.” Happens to me all the time, Megan! Like, what is up with us not typing it right away? π But that kind of spoils the fun of kitchen experiments, right? π I loved this post, Megan! Yeah, I’m pretty sure we would be baker buddies IRL. But be sure not to confuse your stack of recipe notes with mine, okay? Haha. Have a great week, friend! xo
Ha ha!! You are way too funny, Demeter! Thanks a million πππ
I have a serious weakness for granola, and this variation sounds amazing!!!
I’m glad that you managed to hold onto this recipe to share with us! π
Me too!! Thanks Blair π
hah! I totally get it, Megan. I’m impressed that you have the base recipe memorized! I’ve been making granola for several years now, and I still have to go pull out the recipe each time. Same as our pizza dough. The other day, Laura asked me if I still needed to pull out the recipe for the dough…and I was like, uh, yup. There’s too much other stuff bouncing around up there! Can’t wait to check out this granola version…sounds and looks delicious!
Thanks David! I’m always afraid I’ll forget the recipes, but some how they stay put – for now anyway π
Guuurl, I feel you! I have a bazillion post it notes and scrap papers lying around my office with recipe ideas and actual snip-its of recipes. It’s a sickness. I am a huge fan of homemade granola and this one looks incredible!! Love the almond butter up in here, and I’m all for adding coconut to all the things!! Cheers, lovely!
Thanks Cheyanne!
When I like a recipe, I write it into a diary. If I like the recipe after making it myself, I save it on my laptop. Granola is literally my addiction. Iβve been eating a bunch of store-bought granola! But this sounds too easy to pass up.
It’s the perfect recipe! Thanks Rahul!
Oooo those almonds sound like the perfect addition to this granola!! Homemade granolas are the BEST. Your version looks so nice, crunchy and delicious! And I am the same when it comes to writing recipes, I have so many of them!!
Crunchy is an absolute must with granola! Thanks Anu π
Definitely cannot have too many granola favorites!! This looks scrumptious! haha yeah I had to start writing down recipes before making (and then I make changes as I go) because otherwise I never remember what I did!!
Yea, I’ve started doing that, too, but sometimes I make changes during – whoops! Thanks Ashley π
Love this granola Megan! Always a favorite for breakfast or just snacking! And anything with coconut is a hit in my book!
Absolutely!! Thanks Mary Ann π
You know coconut is my favorite so I would LOVE this!
You would!! Thanks Zainab!
Oh my goodness! I’m completely disorganized. I wish I had a cookbook corner, but the best I can do is a notebook. I’m kind of obsessed with these notebooks that I can only find at Walgreens and I keep one in the kitchen most of the time and try to write things down in there as I go. Sometimes I remember. Sometimes not so much. Anyhoo – this granola sounds like something worth writing down and remembering!
I need a book like that! & I’m so glad I wrote this recipe down π Thanks Rachelle!
Can you believe I recently tried almond butter for the first time? This granola looks amazing! Need to use it in a parfait soon!
It would be delicious in a parfait! Thanks Aimee π
LOL, I am the same way with my recipes! So frustrating when I lose a scrap or can’t figure out my scribbles. I’m “trying” to be better about it. I’m a granola fan, too, so off to see your recipe π
Yay!! Thanks Liz π
