Sweet and tangy, this Coconut Lime Granola is a fun, crunchy breakfast, snack, or treat. Made with no sugar and completely gluten free!
I'm a huge granola fan, so I'll basically find any excuse I can to make myself a batch. When I started making my own coconut milk I had so much coconut pulp laying around. Now I'll definitely choose composting over throwing away food. But if I can do something with leftover foods, I want to use every scrap. So, of course, I'm going to make myself some granola!
Don't worry, if you don't have coconut pulp, you can still make this recipe! You can use regular shredded coconut instead. It will make the granola even more coconuty. Yum!
I love that this Coconut Lime Granola tastes super fresh. Depending on the recipe, granola can be overly sweet, heavy, and dense. But Coconut Lime Granola has a light and refreshing flavor from the lime juice! The citrus notes add a summery vibe to the granola.
Other than coconut, lime juice, and oats (of course), the only other ingredient is date syrup. Date syrup is my favorite oil-free, sugar-free way to make granola. It's sticky enough to create a delicious crunch that you would get from oil. And it's made of dates -- a whole food, natural sweetener.
Since we're adding lime juice as some of the liquid, we won't need to use as much date syrup. Which, in my opinion, is a nice change of pace. Less date syrup gives this granola a subtly sweet flavor that makes it feel more like breakfast and less like dessert. If you're really wanting sweet granola though, feel free to add more date syrup to your taste.
It doesn't take long to whip up this granola. Start by making sure your coconut pulp is dry. I do this by toasting it in the oven on low heat for an hour or two. You can also spread the pulp out on a pan and let it air dry overnight. If you're not using coconut pulp, you're good to go!
Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Spread the granola mixture on a parchment-lined pan and bake. Stir the granola halfway through the baking time. In less than 30 minutes, you'll have sweet, crunchy, refreshing Coconut Lime Granola. Enjoy!
Jesus thank you for the gift of resourcefulness. Help us to take care of your creation and respect the world around us. Amen.
