Description
Grab a bowl of this Coconut Quinoa Granola… it’s one of our favorites. It has an AMAZING coconut flavor, and makes the house smell amazing! I’ve made many variations of this recipe and find that cooking quinoa gives a nice tenderness and texture to granola. Eat it with Greek yogurt or unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
