Equipment

Large rimmed baking sheet
Parchment paper or silicone mat
Large mixing bowl
Small saucepan
Spatula
Airtight storage container

Ingredients

Base

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup chopped almonds or nuts of choice
¼ cup chia seeds or flax seeds
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wet Mix

⅓ cup coconut oil melted
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup for vegan
2 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter

Add-Ins

½ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes optional
2 tablespoon cacao nibs optional for extra crunch

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, combine oats, cocoa powder, chopped almonds, chia seeds, and sea salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Watch to avoid burning.
Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot granola and gently fold in. Add coconut flakes and cacao nibs if using.
Let the granola cool completely on the pan to allow clusters to form. Store in an airtight container.
