This granola crisps up nicely in the oven to give you a nice crispy and crunchy texture. It is loaded with seeds and nuts. It’s chocolatey but not overly sweet.

The recipe is actually super versatile and can easily be customized to your liking. You may change it up by adding whatever else you like in a good, hearty bowl of granola.

I love to enjoy the crispiness of the granola with smooth yogurt, or cottage cheese, and loads of fruit. It’s filling and healthy. It is loaded with protein and nutrients your body needs to stay energized, strong, and well-fueled for the day ahead.

Dark Chocolate Granola Recipe Ingredients

  • Rolled oats
  • Sprouted pumpkin seeds
  • Almond slivers
  • Chia seeds
  • Flax seeds
  • Cacao powder
  • Virgin coconut oil
  • Maple syrup
  • Light brown sugar
  • Sea salt
  • Pure vanilla extract

How to Make Dark Chocolate Granola Recipe

Add coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, sea salt, and vanilla extract into a small bowl. Place a glass bowl over a hot water bath and stir all together until all is melted.

In a separate, large glass bowl, toss and mix together all the dry ingredients: rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, almond slivers, and cacao powder.

Pour the melted liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix all together until well combined.

Dark Chocolate Granola Baking Instructions

Transfer the uncooked granola onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out evenly.

Bake in a preheated to 325 F convection oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before crushing into small pieces.

Once the granola is cooled completely, crush into small, bite-size pieces and store in a plastic container closed tightly with a lid to preserve freshness.

For best taste, use up each batch of this delicious granola within a month. For me, it usually only last up to two weeks, sometimes even less. Enjoy!

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
