Ingredients

½ cup - almond butter
2 tablespoons - butter
¼ cup - honey
2 tablespoons - brown sugar
1 tsp - vanilla extract
2 teaspoons - orange zest
2 tablespoons - orange juice
2 cups - rolled oats
1 ½ cups - rice cereal
½ cup - raw unsalted almonds
½ cup - dried cranberries
½ tsp - salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all of the wet ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and gently mix until dry ingredients are fully coated.
Spread granola onto baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and, using a spatula, toss or stir granola and rearrange in an even layer. Bake for another 10 minutes, stir and rearrange again, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until granola is golden brown in color.
Remove granola from the oven and let it cool for at least 20-30 minutes before eating. This will allow it to dry out and become crunchy.
Serve granola over yogurt with an extra drizzle of honey, or eat it by the handful. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container.
