Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cacao butter, melted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 2.5 cups almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a small pot over low heat, add the cacao butter to melt (or melt in the microwave). Once it is melted, add the maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- In a 9” x 13” baking dish, stir together the oats, chopped almonds, cocoa powder, and sea salt. You can also mix it in a large bowl first, then transfer it into the baking dish or a baking sheet. Once the dry ingredients are fully mixed, add the wet ingredients. Stir the cacao butter mixture until there are no dry spots in your granola mixture. Smooth into an even layer, but don’t press down.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stir and return it to the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove and add the mini chocolate chips and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Allow to fully cool before storing in an airtight container.
