Chocolate Coconut Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and add the granola and flax seeds and stir to combine. Stick the bowl in the freezer to cool and harden the mixture a little bit, about 6 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into little balls.
• Arrange the coconut on a large baking sheet. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, scoop out a small amount of the chocolate-granola mixture and roll it around in the coconut, making little balls. Little bites. Little ball bites. Repeat with the remaining chocolate-granola mixture and coconut.
• Place the tray back in the freezer to harden, at least 5 minutes. Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.
• Combine honey and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds. Stir well.
• Place the rolled oats in a large bowl. Drizzle honey-peanut butter mixture over oats; toss to coat. Mix in sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, coconut, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 22 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, coconut, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, honey, oil, cinnamon and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
