Equipment
- 1 sheet pan, lined with parchment paper
- 2 large mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 3½ cups Old-Fashioned oats
- ½ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- ½ cup shelled, salted pistachios, roughly chopped
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup pistachio butter *see alternate in tips + Modifications
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, slightly melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, coconut, and pistachios.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine cacao powder, pistachio butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt and stir until creamy.
- Immediately pour the dry oat mixture into the wet chocolate mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Pour the granola mixture onto the lined pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven, carefully toss it and spread it back into an even layer again. Bake for another 10-12 minutes. Allow the granola to cool completely.
Notes
Storage:
Place the completely cooled granola into an airtight container like a mason jar. Store it at room temperature for up to 10 days.
Tips + Modifications:
Work fast with the coconut oil as it can harden fast.
Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on your baking sheet so it crisps up without burning. Stir halfway through for even toasting.
Let the granola cool completely on the pan before storing. This helps it firm up and get that crunchy, chunky texture everyone loves. *Note, it will not be soft when you first pull it out of the oven.
