Crunchy Granola Heart – Ingredients & Alternatives

• Shredded Coconut. For this Granola Recipe you need unsweetened shredded coconut.

• Chia seeds. In die Masse kommt insgesamt 1 Esslöffel Chiasamen. Du kannst alternativ auch Leinsamen verwenden oder es ersatzlos weglassen.
  
• Maple syrup. The maple syrup makes the granola heart sweet. Rice syrup, agave syrup or honey are suitable alternatives.
