The ultimate coconut lover’s granola. This cereal utilizes coconut oil, coconut flour, coconut sugar – and of course – lots of crunchy coconut flakes!
Newest way to waste time? Spend hours trying to decide on a recipe title. Take a look at this absurd list of names for TEB’s newest granola creation:
- Super Coconutty Granola.
- Coconut Lover’s Granola.
- Coconut Granola.
- The Ultimate Coconut Granola.
- Loaded Coconut Granola.
- Crunchy Coconut Granola.
- All things Coconut Granola.
- Toasted Coconut Granola.
See – this is not just any old coconut granola with a handful of coconut thrown in. This granola is packed with coconut ingredients like – coconut oil, coconut flour, coconut sugar – and, duh, coconut flakes.
So, I wanted a title that would convey the abundance of coconut goodness in this granola.
But in the end, I settled for the simplest, and most obvious, title – Coconut Granola.
As you all know, I love granola – & today we’re celebrating a fellow granola lover – Leah of Grain Changer. She’s having a baby! I thought I had some cool granola flavor combos, but check out some of her genius flavor combos:
So, what kind of virtual baby shower do you throw for a granola lover? A granola one, of course!

Picking out a recipe title can be SO hard! You don’t want it to be too long, but it has to be descriptive…ahhh the choices! 🙂 This granola looks delicious, Megan! I’ve never made a coconut version before. Sounds perfect for breakfast!
