What is your favorite cereal to enjoy for breakfast? For me it would be granola well, really Cap’n Crunch, but that’s for another blog post. I really do love granola. I love to have it on top of yogurt or on top of a cracker spread with peanut butter or just in a bowl with milk.
I’m sharing with you today a very easy recipe for homemade coconut pecan chocolate chip granola. Your family is going to love it almost as much as mine. I love granola because it is very easy to make but the one thing I don’t love about granola is the price.
It is really expensive these days to purchase granola from the grocery store. Which is why I love this recipe AND you can add basically anything to this recipe when it’s done baking.

Easy homemade granola recipe made with coconut, pecan, chocolate chip and maple syrup.
- 4 cups oats - not instant
- 3/4 cup pecans
- 1/3 cup coconut
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips - added after the granola has cooked and cooled.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the oil, honey, syrup and vanilla.
-
Combine the oats, pecans, coconut, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl.
-
Pour the warmed oil, honey, syrup and vanilla on top and stir to combine.
-
Spread onto a baking tray that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
-
Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes stirring every ten minutes.
-
Set your timer so you don't forget to stir or the granola will burn.
-
Once the granola has cooled, stir in the mini chocolate chips or dried fruit.
Store in a plastic container for 2 weeks. I like to use Ball jars to store the granola. They keep the granola really fresh and it looks pretty in my pantry or on the counter.
