Satisfy your cravings for something sweet and crunchy with our homemade crunchy puffed granola with chocolate and chia seeds.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats 160g
- 2 cups puffed cereal ~30g I used Puffed Kamut
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds 24g
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips 56g
- pinch of kosher salt
- ⅓ cup almond butter 84g
- ¼ cup honey 84g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray - this will help when you add the honey and almond butter. Add the oats, puffed cereal, chia seeds, chocolate chips and salt. Set aside.2 cups old fashioned oats, 2 cups puffed cereal, 2 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ cup mini chocolate chips, pinch of kosher salt
- In a smaller microwave-safe bowl, add the honey and almond butter.¼ cup honey, ⅓ cup almond butter
- Microwave for about 30 seconds then mix until combined.
- It will take a few minutes to get the two combined. Just keep mixing.
- Pour the honey-almond butter mixture over the dry ingredient and mix well. I actually ditched the spatula and used my hands to toss everything together. Hence, no photo.
- Spray a large non-stick cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spread the granola mixture evenly.
- Anyway, bake for about 30 minutes, tossing every 8-10 so the granola doesn't burn.
- Remove from oven, let cool on the sheet and then transfer to an airtight container. I immediately ate some with yogurt and then tried a bit with almond milk.
