Chocolate Granola {gluten free, healthy, vegan}

Please share!

My family is obsessed with Kind Dark Chocolate Granola, but it gets expensive! So I decided to whip up a batch of chocolate granola using ingredients I already had on hand, and everyone in my house likes it so much, we’ll never go back to the store-bought stuff! It’s cheaper to make it at home, and it tastes just as yummy…plus, it’s easy to make!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
• pinch cinnamon
• pinch salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (3 tbsp solid)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine

Pour out onto the lined baking sheet and press into a thin layer

Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25

Allow to cool for 1 hour before breaking apart into clusters

Store in an airtight container on counter or in fridge for up to two weeks
