Coconut pepita granola

I love granola but I can never get myself to buy any because it has so much sugar in it!? Luckily I made this kind with a tad bit of maple syrup and many other delicious ingredients!🍁🥥🌰

If you haven’t tried this granola you are missing out (big time)! I mean sure you could go to the store and buy a bag of granola that is about 90% sugar or make a super easy one that is delicious and you won’t feel the guilt of eating tons of sugar!

Oats. I used gluten free oats but normal oats will do.
Shredded coconut. Always use unsweetened even if you like the sweetness because you will be adding maple syrup.
Pepitas. Pepitas are shelled pumpkin seeds. They taste great and are even better in granola!
Cinnamon, ginger. Granola would not be the same without spices.
Maple syrup. I always use real maple syrup You could use honey but it’s non-vegan and it may be sticky.
Canned coconut milk. You could use whatever milk you want because this is just the topping.
Fresh blueberries. You know I think frozen wild blueberries would taste amazing on this!
