This granola is perfect for topping yogurt, adding to milk, or enjoying by the handful as a quick snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/3 cup of maple syrup, and 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup of dry cocoa powder to the wet mixture. Stir until the cocoa powder is thoroughly incorporated and you have a smooth, chocolatey mixture.
- Pour the 3 cups of oats into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Stir well until all the oats are evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure it’s in a thin, even layer to ensure uniform baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stir the granola halfway through the baking time to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crispier as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Tips:
- Ensure that the oats are evenly coated with the wet ingredients for even baking.
- Use quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Consider mixing in nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to add extra texture and nutritional value.
- Store the granola in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for longer.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious batch of chocolatey granola that’s perfect for any time of day. Enjoy the rich cocoa flavor combined with the natural sweetness of maple syrup, making it a treat that you can feel good about eating. Happy cooking!
