Print Recipe

A great on the go breakfast!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3.5 cups of Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup of Whole Almonds
  • 1 cup of Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup of Cocoa Powder (I use Dutch Process, it’s AMAZING!!!)
  • 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup of Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup of Oil of choice (avocado, coconut, etc…)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Place the almonds and the rolled oats in a food processor and process until some of the oats and almonds are broken down (see note).
  3. In a small mixing bowl combine the cocoa powder, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt and chia seeds and whisk until throughly combined.
  4. Put the oat/almond mixture in a large bowl and place the chocolate chips in the same bowl.
  5. Pour the wet chocolate mixture over the dry oat/almond mixture and using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir until everything is evenly coated.
  6. In a large baking sheet, place either a silicone mat or parchment paper to cover the bottom.
  7. Pour the granola mixture onto the baking sheet and firmly press into an even layer.
  8. Bake in oven for 15 minutes, stir the mixture, and bake for 10-15 minutes more, being careful not to burn the granola.
  9. Take out of the oven and let the granola cool off completely in the warm baking sheet.
  10. Break into small pieces or large chunks (however you like it!), serve, and enjoy!!

Notes

1. Your goal isn’t to turn it into a powder, just to break down some of the oats and almonds while leaving some whole. Pulse no more than 4-6 times.
