Triple Chocolate Granola

This granola is perfect for breakfast and a healthier dessert. It's crunchy and sweet. I used cocoa powder, chocolate chips and chocolate covered raisins to make this the perfect chocolate treat.





Ingredients:
3 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or canola oil)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 - 3/4 cup chocolate covered raisins
optional additional add-ins like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Pour oats into a large bowl, set aside.

In a smaller bowl, mix melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and dark brown sugar until combined. Add honey and salt and mix until a liguid-y paste forms. 

Pour over oats and mix until all oats are moistened. Add more honey if needed.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring + flipping every 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips while the granola is still warm. Stir. The chocolate chips will melt, creating larger clusters of granola. 

Once cooled, add in chocolate covered raisins and any additional add-ins you prefer. Store covered at room temperature for up to three weeks.
