Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup golden flax meal
- 3 tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder I used Hershey's dark
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup finely chopped dark chocolate
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Transfer ¾ cup of the rolled oats to a food processor. Pulse until finely ground but not yet the consistency of flour.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground oats, remaining oats, golden flax meal, dark cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, stir the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour the mixture over the oats and use a large spoon to stir until combined.
- Dump the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Use clean hands to press the mixture down into a rectangle ½ inch thick.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan, then bake for 25 more minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before breaking the rectangle into pieces.
- Let the granola pieces cool completely, at least 30 more minutes, before transferring to a storage container or bag.
