Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cacao powder
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Raw walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Pureed dates
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened cacao powder, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the pureed dates and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end.
Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
After cooling, mix in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
