Chocolate Granola
 
Ingredients
  • 4-6 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa
  • 2 cups oats (we used quick cooking)
  • ½ cup nuts (we used almonds)
  • ¼ cup seeds (we used sunflower seeds)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup banana chips or Craisins
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) good quality chocolate bar, chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300⁰F.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and cocoa. Microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the strength of your microwave. Stir to combine.
  3. Combine oats, nuts, seeds, and coconut in a bowl. Add maple syrup mixture and mix well to combine. Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Let cool slightly. Transfer mixture back to the bowl and add chopped chocolate (you want the chocolate to melt just a little). Add in banana chips or Craisins. Enjoy with milk as a cereal or sprinkled in yogurt.
