This fiber-rich granola is the perfect way to start your day. It's packed with oats, nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes, and it's sweetened with honey and cinnamon. It's also a good source of protein and fiber, and it's easy to make. Just combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, spread them on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool completely before breaking into clusters.
I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and filling breakfast that would keep me going all morning. I wanted something that was packed with nutrients, but I also wanted something that was easy to make and delicious. After a few tries, I finally came up with this recipe. It's the perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and fiber. I love it with milk or yogurt, and it's also great as a snack on its own.
