Originally given to me at work as a ‘Hey! I made this, try it, it’s vegan (I’m not vegan), you’ll love it!’ and I did; I really did love it. I’ve made it several times now and a modified version for my husband (omitted the chocolate and used deluxe mixed nuts). I have to stash some or get none in my house.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups dried fruit (such as cranberries, pomegranate, cherries, or blueberries)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
Step 2
Pour the oats into a large bowl. Add almonds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, brown sugar, and dried fruit into the oats respectively, stirring each into the mixture before adding the next.
Step 3
Mix maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. With a rubber spatula, add the maple syrup-vanilla mixture to your dry ingredients. Fold the two together until mixed and all dry ingredients are well coated.
Step 4
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, stir, and continue baking until golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Gently fold chocolate chips into the granola mixture, allowing the chocolate to coat the granola as it melts slightly. Cool completely before storing.
Cook’s Note:
Once my oven cools off I usually let mine sit inside the oven overnight and package the next day. It's great in milk, too!
