A touch of coconut oil helps everything crisp up in the oven, while shredded coconut and hemp seeds add extra texture once cooled. It bakes quickly, fills your kitchen with a warm, nutty aroma, and stores beautifully for easy snacking or topping yogurt throughout the week. It’s a satisfying, no-fuss granola that delivers great flavor with minimal effort.
