Almond Joy Granola. I have been slightly obsessed with coconut lately if you haven’t noticed. You need to try this Almond Joy Granola! What’s not to love? I was not always a coconut fan, but have grown to love it in so many ways.
I already have Almond Joy Energy Bites and Almond Joy Waffles, so why not create Almond Joy Granola. I have combined my love for coconut, with my love for granola to make this very tasty little snack. This almond joy granola is a must try!
This is so good! It may just be my new favorite. I have to admit, though, this recipe was not going to be granola. I was trying to do a baked oatmeal and when I went to pull them out of the muffin tins, they just fell apart.
But rather than toss it, I just threw it back in the oven for another 15 minutes and made it granola! Glad I did too, because the coconut got toasty and sweet. Yum!
