Almond Joy Granola
Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 40-45 minutes.
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. (If using foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray).
2
Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl, (except for the coconut and chocolate chips) and stir until everything is well combined. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir to break granola apart. Add coconut. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until granola is crisp.
3
Let cool completely, and add chocolate chips (and almonds/white chocolate chips if using). Store in an air-tight container for up to 7 days.

did you mean to say a 1/4 cup of baking stevia?
Erin said:
Sorry, maybe I’m reading this wrong- mini chocolate chips twice? Also, how does it work to replace coconut oil instead of butter? Thx! :)
Renee said:
Is there an alternative to honey? I can’t eat it and wondering if there is something else.
Dashing Dish said:
agave or maple syrup
Kelly said:
Could you substitute vanilla extract for the coconut extract?
Dashing Dish said:
yep :)
Melinda said:
Ditto to the above-1/4 tsp or 1/2 cup of an alternative seems like an odd swap… And if there supposed to be 2, 1/4 cups of chocolate chips or just the one? Is one supposed to be white and the other milk/semi-sweet?
Dashing Dish said:
all fixed :)
Melinda said:
Thank you!

Taylor said:
Are the coconut flakes sweetened or unsweetened?
Dashing Dish said:
I actually calculated with unsweetened but both would work:)
