Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw hazelnuts, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the oat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan, during which it will crisp up.
Once cooled, mix in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
