Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and salted peanuts. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Stir in honey, unsweetened cocoa powder, and brown sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oats and peanuts. Mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until the oats are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the chocolate chips and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Serve as a snack, with milk, or as a topping for yogurt or smoothie bowls.
