Make this extra large batch to share with friends or stock the pantry. Gluten free, soy free and low in sugar.
Ingredients
1 1⁄3 cup maple syrup
1 cup coconut oil, melted
2 cups chopped hazelnuts
1 1⁄3 cup cocoa powder (see note below)
8 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 tsp vanilla extract
1⁄2 tsp salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Warm the maple syrup and the coconut oil until the coconut oil is melted.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
- Spread on a cookie sheet that is either lightly sprayed with oil or lined with parchment paper.
- Bake 20-25 minuets, stirring every 5-10 minutes to make sure it does not overcook.
- Let cool on the cookie sheet, then store in an airtight jar.
Notes
- At the Miller’s Table Cafe at Maine Grains we use ‘black cocoa’ making this granola taste like a cross between Nutella and Oreo cookies – but with far less sweet. Dutch cocoa, or any cocoa on hand will also work.
- This granola is divine on Greek yogurt parfaits, atop ice cream – or all by itself!
