Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup nuts (your choice, like almonds or walnuts)
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sweetener (like honey or maple syrup)
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for those who love extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, so our granola doesn’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything nicely.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetener, melted coconut oil, coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is where the magic starts!
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is coated and combined. Don’t hold back; get in there!
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure it’s laid out nice and flat so it bakes evenly.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. You want it to be golden brown and smelling all kinds of wonderful!
- Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it cool. If you’re feeling a little indulgent, sprinkle those chocolate chips on top while it’s still warm.
- Once cooled, break it into clusters and enjoy it straight away or store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Perfect for breakfast or a snack!
This Mocha Granola is not just a breakfast option; it’s a versatile treat that can be enjoyed with yogurt, milk, or right out of the jar. Grab your ingredients and get cooking! Trust me, you won’t regret it!
