Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, and cocoa powder. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Add the salt and stir everything together until the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be fragrant and slightly crisp at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will become crispier.
Once cooled, stir in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
