Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts chopped
- 3 cups oatmeal
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut unsweetened
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170° Celsius. In a food processor or large bowl, combine the hazelnuts, oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, salt, and cocoa powder. Blend or combine the ingredients several times.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt and combine the coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and thoroughly combine. The oats and nuts will be broken down more in a food processor, resulting in a finer texture.
- Line a baking tray with parchment sheet, then pour and evenly spread the hazelnut granola mixture on it. Toast for 20-25 minutes (or until aromatic and deep golden brown), stirring halfway through.
- Allow it to cool completely to room temperature before serving. Then, add the dark chocolate. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Allow the granola to completely cool before storing it; otherwise, it will become soggy.
