Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup Mini chocolate chips (gluten-free)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats and raw hazelnuts.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the cocoa and oil mixture over the oats and hazelnuts. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes, then take the baking sheet out and add the unsweetened coconut flakes. Stir the granola gently to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and the hazelnuts are roasted.
Step 8
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will allow it to crisp up further.
Step 9
Once cooled, stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Step 10
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with milk, over yogurt, or as a snack on its own!
