Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup shredded coconut I used sweetened
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or any nuts you like
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • cup coconut oil
  • cup honey
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, pecans, chia, and flax seeds until well combined.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the coconut oil, honey, cocoa, and vanilla. Heat over low heat until it just starts to boil (about 1 minute), then remove from heat.
  • Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
  • Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • After 25 minutes, stir the granola again and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning. Keep an eye on it—the last 10 minutes are crucial to get that perfect crunch without burning. Take a little taste test each time you stir to check if it’s crispy enough.
  • Once it’s done, let it cool completely before enjoying. The granola will get even crunchier as it cools.
