Coconut Orange Granola

This is hands down the best granola I’ve ever made or had! It was so hard to not eat the whole pan while standing there waiting for it to cool! The coconut oil no only makes for a delicious aroma but also gives it a sweet tropical flavor that is so well matched with the orange. Even hours later, my mom walked into the house and asked, “What is that wonderful smell?” Yup, it was this granola… :o)
