Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw hazelnuts
• 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, raw hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all of the oats and hazelnuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will become crispy.

Step 8

Once the granola is cool, transfer it to a large bowl and mix in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
