I'm a BIG fan of granola! I use it to top smoothie bowls, acai bowls, as a cereal, or as a snack!
This almond joy granola quickly became a favorite as it's from Minimalist Baker (Love them.) and can be found here: http://minimalistbaker.com/almond-joy-granola/#_a5y_p=2342523
Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- ¼ tsp of salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (or canola/olive oil)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (Minimalist baker suggests to add a little salt if not salted, but I did not and found it fine)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup/agave (I used maple syrup)
- 1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate (bar or chips), roughly chopped (I've omitted)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F
2. Mix oats, coconut, sugar, salt, and almonds in a large bowl
3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat melt coconut oil, almond butter, and maple syrup together
4. Pour wet mixture over dry and mix together
5. Spread mixture onto baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes. (Keep a close eye to make sure coconut and almonds don't burn)
6. Once browned, remove from oven and allow to cool. If adding chocolate either put it on as it cools to have it melt over granola or wait until completely cool
7. Store in a air tight container
Eat with milk as a homemade cereal, as a topping on smoothie bowl/acai bowls, or alone for a snack!
