Ingredients
- 2 cups of rolled oats about 500g
- ½ cup of peanut butter about 125g
- ¼ cup of honey about 60ml
- ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder about 60g
- ¼ cup of coconut oil about 60ml
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract about 5ml
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup of dark chocolate chips about 125g
- Optional: 1/2 cup of dried fruits like raisins or cranberries about 125g
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large bowl, mix your rolled oats with the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil, peanut butter, and honey. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until they blend smoothly.
- Stir in the vanilla extract to this wet mixture.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in your large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until all the oats are well-coated.
- Spread out the Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure you stir the granola at least once during this time to avoid any burnt bits.
- Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- As it cools, the granola will become crunchier.
- Once completely cooled, stir in the dark chocolate chips (and dried fruits if you’re using any).
Notes
Always keep an eye on your granola while it’s in the oven. It can go from perfect to burnt in just a minute or two.
If you want a chunkier Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola, press down on the mixture with a spatula before baking. This will create clusters.
You can store the granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks. But good luck making it last that long! Enjoy your Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola on its own as a crunchy snack.
Sprinkle it over some yogurt for a delightful breakfast treat.
Add it to a smoothie bowl for some extra crunch and flavor.
You could also add some fresh fruits like bananas or berries to compliment the flavors and make your dish even more delightful.
