Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the raw almonds roughly into bits, or if preferred, leave them whole for a chunkier texture.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats and nuts are coated evenly with the chocolate mixture.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and stir, ensuring to re-spread it evenly across the baking sheet. Return to oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
After baking, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy with your favorite dairy-free milk or as a snack on its own.
