Ingredients
All you need to make this delicious and easy homemade granola recipe at home is coconut oil, honey (or pure maple syrup), old fashioned oats, shredded unsweetened coconut, chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Start by melting the coconut oil and honey in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Toss with the rest of the ingredients, and place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
