Crunchy Coconut Granola

 
I have to admit I am not a breakfast person, although I try to have one every day. It seems there is no time for me to actually to sit down and enjoy first meal of a day. By the time A. is fed, dressed and entertained, it’s almost noon.

There is only one thing I *must* have in the mornings and that’s my big mug of coffee. Coffee makes me sane : )

When I do have breakfast I like to have something simple and quick yet delicious and satisfying. And granola ticks all boxes.  And what I like the most about granola that if stored in an airtight container in a fridge, it will last for several months.  But in our house it rarely lasts for more than a week...
