Coconut Pecan Granola

Coconut Pecan Granola is lightly sweetened and loaded with delicious flavor. Serve it up as a snack, as cereal, or in a sweet, creamy parfait.

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Fisher Nuts. Thank you for continuing to support the brands that make My Baking Addiction possible.

I have a serious thing for granola and since starting my blog, I’ve definitely posted my fair share of granola-inspired recipes like this Pumpkin Pie Granola and this Apple Cinnamon Granola.

Since I love sweet, crunchy snacks, granola is usually my go-to when the 3pm slump hits. Well, granola and a cup of coffee. I love snacking on it by the handful, but also love it with a generous splash of almond milk and in parfaits. And even though I am no stranger to buying granola from the market, I love whipping it up at home.

You can really customize homemade granola with so many different flavors and it’s a great way to use up leftover ingredients in your pantry. There are endless flavor combinations using items like dried fruit, spices, chocolate and of course – crunchy, heart-healthy Fisher Nuts. My favorite are Fisher Pecan Halves, but this granola would be absolutely amazing with walnuts, or almonds too.

Elle has been getting progressively more finicky when it comes to breakfast food lately. Whenever we ask her what she wants, her response is simple: bacon. I tell ya, she’s a girl after my own heart. But since we can’t let her sustain life on bacon alone, we’ve been trying to get a little more creative. Think bunny shaped pancakes and smiley egg faces – complete with a strip or two of bacon, of course.

There’s something about about a pretty layered parfait that gets her every time. Maybe it’s the slightly sweet Greek yogurt. Or yummy fresh berries. Or the irresistible, crunchy granola. Ha! Who am I kidding, it’s totally the promise of an episode of Paw Patrol once she’s finished.

She may be encouraged by the promise of Paw Patrol, but I’m keen to load her up on homemade granola for more than just eat-less-bacon reasons. This Coconut Pecan Granola, as I mentioned, is chock full of Fisher Nuts Pecan Halves. How much do I love them for my family?

Let me count the ways:

1. They’re preservative free, and Non-GMO project certified. I love that I’m giving Elle pecans exactly as nature intended.
2. There are nine different Fisher Nuts varieties certified Heart Healthy by the American Heart Association. That makes them good for the whole family.
3. The resealable bag keeps all the different varieties I keep stocked fresh for longer. We go through nuts at a record pace around here, for snacking, baking, and parfait-making, but it’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about their freshness, or about finding an alternate container to store them in.

   If your family loves nuts as much as ours does, you’ve got to make these Coconut Pecan Parfaits for breakfast this weekend. They’re the perfect brunch starter. Especially in beautiful bowls, next to a steaming cup of coffee.

PMP 056: Reaching Generation iY and iGen Students

The Fear of Sharing #IMMOOC

In our most recent #IMMOOC Live session, I had the pleasure to have a conversation with Katie Martin, AJ Juliani, and John Spencer.  As we are all discussing the importance of sharing your learning (process and product), one question that came up was along the lines of, “How do we ensure that this is seen as sharing not bragging?”

First of all, I made the distinction between “sharing” and “bragging”; bragging definitely happens in all spaces, online and offline.  Sharing though is crucial to the growth of any profession, especially education (watch this older video from Dean Shareski if you have the chance), and great ideas that are shared tend to find people, not the other way around.  But here is something that I stated that I truly believe.  If someone feels uncomfortable because you are doing good work, you are not the problem.

We all want the best for our students, and sharing your idea can not only have an impact on the person seeing the idea, but also the person sharing it.  The person seeing the idea might be inspired to try something new, where the person sharing might see the need to tweak and remix what they are currently doing based on feedback.  It is a mutually beneficial transaction if we see it that way.

Yet if someone feels that the work you are doing is making them look bad, then they should do better.  We should never let others hold us back from doing an amazing job because it might make them feel uncomfortable. Discomfort is not a bad thing.  As long as we both support and push one another (competitive-collaboration), the big winner will always be students.

I have seen a major shift in education in the last few years, that has been greater than my 15 years in education prior. The positive shifts we have seen in education in the last few years are not because we have access to information.  It is because we have access to each other. I truly believe that.

This quote from Stephen Johnson resonates:

“And then one day, you look up and realize that all those individual trajectories have turned into a wave.”

Share away! It makes all of us better.

Thanks Amber Teamann for the visual!
