If you are like me and enjoy granola almost every day, I have the perfect granola recipe for this summer (or any other season)! Introducing Lime, Coconut & Macadamia Granola!
This granola is citrusy, coconutty, and a bit salty with crunchy macadamia pieces! It goes perfectly with coconut yogurt, almond milk, or just as a snack.
It requires just 9 ingredients and about 30 minutes to prepare. Rolled oats are first combined with coconut chips. Then comes maple syrup to sweeten, coconut oil to make the granola crunchy, lime juice, lime zest, and some vanilla extract.
Stir all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and then let it sit for about 5 minutes, just enough for the oats to soak up the lime juice. Then, roast for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Next, roughly chop your roasted salted macadamias and stir them into the granola.
Adding lime zest to the granola adds a subtle citrusy flavor that goes so well with the roasted coconut chips and macadamias. This granola has a tropical and fresh flavor that is perfect for summer, but if you love lime as much as I do, then the season doesn’t matter!

These flavors are wonderful together. I only had raw macadamia nuts, not salted. I just roasted them, followed the recipe as is and it is so good. I tend to make the same granola all the time and this is a really bright change up. Thanks for another great suggestion!
So glad you liked this granola Izzi!
I’ve been waiting for the limes to ripen on my little backyard tree. Oh, my, it was worth the wait. This granola is delicious over a bowl of fresh fruit with homemade plain vegan yogurt. The bits of lime zest take it a step above the rest.
So happy to hear you like this granola! Thanks for your feedback Kay!
