Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 0.25 cup raw cacao powder
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw hazelnuts, coconut flakes, and raw cacao powder. Stir well until evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and homogeneous.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated with the syrup mixture.
Add the sea salt and stir again to combine.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven when the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once the granola is completely cool, add the vegan dark chocolate chips and mix them in.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
