Equipment

  • Rimmed Baking Sheet 
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula 

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips,
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cocoa powder, coconut flakes, and chopped pecans.
  • Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Spread the granola evenly onto the prepared rimmed baking sheet in a thin, single layer. Gently press it down with the back of a spoon to help form clusters as it bakes.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Spread the granola back into a thin, even layer and press it down firmly before returning it to the oven. Bake until lightly golden and fragrant.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, break it into pieces.
  • Stir in the dark chocolate chips once the granola has cooled.
