Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats, use certified gluten-free if needed
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup refined coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix in the oats, nuts, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to coat everything evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet. Press it down gently with a spatula to help form clusters. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, let the granola cool completely. This is key for getting those crispy clusters! Optional add-ins: Stir in chocolate chips or chunks while the granola is still slightly warm (but not hot).
Notes
- Swap the seeds/nuts for whatever you have on hand (hazelnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, etc.).
