Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 0.5 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the hazelnuts and almonds. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hazelnuts and almonds with coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sugar-free maple syrup until well combined.
Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt to the oil mixture and stir until smooth.
Pour the cocoa mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir thoroughly until the nuts and seeds are well coated.
Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is slightly crisp and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely to allow it to harden.
Once cooled, stir in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
