Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw hazelnuts
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 0.25 cup raw cacao powder
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw hazelnuts, coconut flakes, and raw cacao powder. Stir well until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and homogeneous.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated with the syrup mixture.

Step 5

Add the sea salt and stir again to combine.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Remove from the oven when the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once the granola is completely cool, add the vegan dark chocolate chips and mix them in.

Step 10

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
