What even is granola without the clusters? This Matcha and Caramelised Strawberry Cluster Granola is literally just a mixture of clusters. What could be better?

This recipe uses Cocavo Original, a blend of extra-virgin coconut and avocado oils. This is a nutritious way to cook the granola and add some healthy fats. Plus, it adds to the pretty matcha green hue!

Feel free to switch around the dried fruit in this recipe (or omit) to suit your preferences.

Enjoy!
