Fresh Flaked Granola

This granola recipe is so great. My kids go crazy over it. I fill up a big container and they walk by and grab chunks to nibble on when they are hungry. My son eats it as cereal with milk. and the ingredients really make this snack super filling. We all love it so much. I had it with yogurt and fruit several days last week.

Also if you have an opposition to coconut, leave it out and add more oats! I made this without the coconut and used 1/3 cup more oat groats and it turned out so great!
