I was thinking about German chocolate cake when I came up with this pecan chocolate chip coconut granola recipe. Toasted pecans, coconut flakes, and honey play with the flavors of the coconut pecan frosting. And semi-sweet chips add a hint of chocolate to the mix. The combination of crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet is slightly addictive.
Pecan chocolate chip coconut granola is the perfect grab-and-go snack when you're looking for something a little bit sweet, that's also gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free. Make it at the beginning of the week and store it in single-serve containers to grab on your way out the door. Or if you're craving a savory snack, check out this paleo snack mix recipe.

September 3 at 8:00 pmThis is my favorite granola ! Instead of the coconut oil & honey, I use 2 Tablespoons of Sukrin brown sugar, 1-2 Tablespoons cinnamon, and 2 egg whites, well frothed. I freeze it in snack bags and just pull one out as needed. Instead of yogurt, I love it on some lightly sweetened ricotta (usually flavored SF syrups) with cinnamon. Yummy.
