I have learnt that coconut oil has a lot of benefits. It boosts brain function, protects the skin, improves digestion, helps in weight loss and great for de-stress.
It seems completely useful to me in all aspect, so I decided to make some healthy breakfast with coconut oil for a good start in the morning.
These granola is extremely profitable, easy and doesn't contain tons of sugar, where commercial granola usually does.
I toss in some almond and coconut flakes to add a little crunch, and almond extract, but they are totally optional! Serve with milk, greek yogurt, or just on it own! They don't last long!
