Ultra Crunchy & Chunky Granola

If you ever ask me what my late night snack is I will always say a bowl of homemade granola, vegan yogurt, and fresh berries. The perfect way to cure a sweet tooth and a healthy way to do it that’s for sure. 

This granola is super crunchy and clusters up perfectly. Only sweetened with maple syrup. Coconut oil is added to give a perfect golden brown color and extra crunch. With notes of coconut and vanilla. It is truly the perfect granola.

If you are a granola fan like me then you know it won’t taste good unless it has that perfect crunch. I have tested this recipe a few times and at first, I thought the trick was stirring it around a few times at different intervals during its baking process. However, that wasn’t it. 

I then lowered the temperature to allow it to cook longer without it burning and did not stir it around at all. I took it out of the oven and allowed it to cool for 15 min. and then proceeded to toss it around. The results? Crunch heaven! 

I have also discovered that more liquids in the granola will aid it in clumping even more. 

This granola sure did test my patience.
