Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cacao powder
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Pureed dates

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 the rolled oats, unsweetened cacao powder, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.

Step 8

After cooling, mix in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
