Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, raw hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all of the oats and hazelnuts are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will become crispy.
Once the granola is cool, transfer it to a large bowl and mix in the dark chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
