Ingredients

3 cups (300 g) gluten free rolled oats
¾ cup (113 g) peanuts or any preferred nut
½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter
½ cup (170 g) honey
¼ (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup (57 g) melted coconut oil or any preferred oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 325ºF.
In a large bowl combine oats and nuts. Set aside.
3 cups gluten free rolled oats, ¾ cup peanuts
In a saucepan combine the peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, oil, and salt over medium low heat. Cook and stir until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract.
½ cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup honey, ¼ unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the oats. Stir to combine. Spread out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring and tossing granola every 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle ½ cup chocolate chips over the granola. Let the chocolate sit on the hot granola for 3-5 minutes. After chocolate has melted stir directly in the pan so granola becomes coated with chocolate. Repeat again with the additional ½ cup chocolate chips.
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Allow the granola to cool and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and storing. Makes 4 cups.

Notes

how to store

I use these great glass airtight jars to store leftover granola in the refrigerator or on the counter. Homemade granola will stay fresh up to 3 months.

Freeze the granola up to 6 months if you need to store it longer. Store in the freezer in glass jars or in gallon ziplock freezer bags.
