Double Chocolate Coconut Almond Granola
3 cups old-fashioned
rolled oats
1 cup flaked unsweetened
coconut
1 cup chopped coarsely
chopped almonds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons cocoa
powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (heaping) mini
semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325
degrees.
In a large bowl stir
together oats, coconut, almonds, cinnamon, and salt. In a small saucepan
melt butter with honey over low heat, stirring. Add cocoa powder to
butter/honey and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add
vanilla. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until combined and
everything is moistened.
On a large baking sheet,
spread the granola evenly in a thin layer. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes
to keep from sticking or burning, until golden brown and crisp, about 20-25
minutes. Once granola has finished cooking, remove from oven and while it's
still hot, pour granola into a large bowl. Add chocolate chips to the
granola and stir to combine (the chocolate chips should be completely melted
all over the granola). Once the chocolate chips are melted, pour granola
back onto the pan and let cool completely. Granola may be kept in an
airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (I keep mine in a
Ziploc in the freezer).
*I'm sure using regular
sized chips would work just fine.
Seriously, this takes granola to a whole new level! Amazing! And just FYI, I used normal sized chips and they spread around just fine! I think it's the cinnamon and the salt....it's just awesome!
