Healthy Almond Joy Granola
Yields: about 4 cups
 
This crunchy granola is full of almond, chocolate and coconut flavors—the same as in the iconic candy bars! The granola will stay fresh for at least one week if stored in an airtight container.
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) old-fashioned oats (gluten-free if necessary)
  • 2 cups (60g) crisp brown rice cereal
  • ½ tbsp (7g) coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup (60mL) unsweetened vanilla almond milk, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60mL) honey
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • 3 tbsp (15g) shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tbsp (28g) miniature chocolate chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly coat a 9”-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats and brown rice cereal. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, almond milk, and honey. Pour the honey mixture over the cereal mixture, and lightly toss with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, gently stirring every 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden and crispy. Cool completely to room temperature in the pan before sprinkling the coconut and chocolate chips over the top.
Notes: For a vegan version, substitute agave or maple syrup in place of the honey.

Any milk may be used in place of the unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
