Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 cup Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate-flavored protein powder. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture until fully combined and warm but not hot.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is fragrant and slightly crisp.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up further as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, add the dark chocolate chips, tossing to evenly disperse them throughout the granola.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
