Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Stir the granola halfway through cooking so the nuts, seeds, and coconut toast evenly without becoming too dark. Allow the mixture to cool completely before covering the container. The granola becomes noticeably crunchier as it cools. Serve with your favorite milk, sprinkle over Greek yogurt with fresh berries, or enjoy it dry as a crunchy snack. Store the completely cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature to help preserve its crisp texture.Wine Advice
If serving this granola as part of a brunch, a fresh Chardonnay complements the toasted almonds, pecans, coconut, and gentle vanilla flavor.Nutrition values
