Big Batch Coconut Oil Granola

The following post is from Becky of Milo & Oats:

As a busy homeschooling mom of five, I am constantly looking for ways to simplify our routine. This is particularly true when it comes to mealtimes. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like I am always in the kitchen! That’s why a little meal planning and preparation goes a long way toward keeping my sanity. A happy and nourished family is a pretty great thing too!

One of our favorite breakfasts to have on hand is this Big Batch Coconut Oil Granola.

Here is what I love about it:

• It makes a BIG batch. As my kids grow (and eat more!), I am learning to adjust my recipes accordingly. Plus, this granola stores beautifully.
• It is a great base for toppings! My kids love it plain with a little almond milk. Mama likes to dress hers up. My bowl looks a little different every time. Dried fruit. Fresh fruit. Chia seeds. Shredded coconut. Chopped almonds. The possibilities are endless!
• It is budget-friendly. Granola made from scratch is much more frugal than store-bought. Bonus: it’s healthier too!

This granola makes a perfect breakfast or snack. It’s also delicious in a fruit and yogurt parfait. You really can’t go wrong with this delicious recipe!
