Coconut Vanilla Granola (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Coconut Vanilla Granola.  I have to admit, I am more of a vanilla girl than a chocolate girl.  You could probably already tell that from my coconut vanilla overnight oats and my coconut vanilla chia pudding.   I couldn’t get enough of this coconut granola.

It was so good!  My picky 4 year old ate this up fast!

I have to admit, this recipe was actually supposed to be granola bars, but when I went to cut them, they crumbled.  Same thing happened with my Blueberry Cashew Trail Mix.

Since the taste was amazing, I decided to share the recipe as granola.  This homemade granola is bursting with vanilla and coconut.

I just love those ground vanilla beans. They make everything so yummy!  If you haven’t tried them, I highly recommend it.
