Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, and cocoa powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Add the salt and stir everything together until the oats and almonds are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be fragrant and slightly crisp at the edges.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will become crispier.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
