chocolate oatmeal cookie granola
Be forewarned: this chocolate oatmeal cookie granola is super addicting! But I think you should definitely make it!
INGREDIENTS
– 3 cups old-fashioned oats
– 1 1/2 cups chopped raw walnuts
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– 1/3 cup extra virgin coconut oil
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/3 cup maple syrup
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 9 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
– flaky sea salt, to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
3. In a microwave-safe measuring glass or a saucepan on the stove, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oats and nuts. Stir until everything is combined and coated, and pour onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes (2 times) until the oats and nuts are toasted and golden brown.
5. Once baked, remove from the oven and add the chocolate chips on top. Let the chips melt for 5 minutes, then stir to coat the mixture with the chocolate.
Sprinkle on some flaky sea salt and let cool completely, 1-2 hours. Once cooled, break the granola into pieces and store it in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
