Take note
Be careful not to burn the granola while baking. Keep an eye on it as it can easily go from golden to burnt. Also, make sure to let it cool completely before storing to ensure maximum crunchiness.

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of almond meal, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of raw cacao nibs, 1/4 cup of sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3

Prepare the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.

4

Bake the granola

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning.

5

Cool and store

Once the granola is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will allow it to become extra crunchy. Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
