Ingredients
- 2 cups certified gluten-free oats
- 1 cup almonds chopped
- ¼ cup cacao nibs
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp course sea salt
- dark chocolate chips amount of your liking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium size bowl mix together the gluten free oats, nuts, cacao nibs, and coconut flakes.
- In a separate bowl combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
- Spread out on a baking sheet and press down on granola (this will yield more chunky pieces), sprinkle with the sea salt, and bake for 30-40 minutes, mixing once or twice.
- Remove from oven, add the dark chocolate chips, and let sit for at least one hour. This will allow everything to crisp up and harden like store bought granola.
- Store in fridge for up to two weeks! Keeping in the fridge will keep everything more crunchy and solid.
Notes
Can use nuts or seeds of your choice in place of almonds if desired.
