So crunchy, sweet and grain-free! This granola is best served with yoghurt or almond milk and berries. Not only is this chunky granola gluten-free, it is also vegan and super easy to make.

TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED

• large coconut chips

• coconut oil

• maple syrup / agave syrup or honey

• pinch of salt

HELPFUL TIPS!

• The longer you roast it, the darker it will get, the better the taste! You can bake it for shorter or longer if you prefer your granola even darker.

• Use large coconut chips as they will break into smaller chunks during the stirring and mixing process.

• with yoghurt and fruit, I suggest trying it with these roasted strawberries

• sprinkled over baked fruit

• sprinkle over your smoothie bowl

• sprinkle on your toast (it sounds weird, but it is delicious!)

• sprinkle on your porridge or overnight oats for extra crunch

• or as a snack, on its own
