Ingredients
- 1.5 cups of old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup coconut strips
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup date syrup (may sub honey, agave or maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup sun butter (or any other nut butter)
- 1/4 cup diced almonds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F
- In a large bowl, combine-oats, coconut, coconut oil, date syrup, sun butter, diced almonds, and chia seeds. Mix with a spatula until well incorporated.
- Pour granola mixture onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Spread the mixture out so that it is in a thin layer.

- Allow to cool completely, then break the granola apart with your hands into small and large clusters.
- Store in an air tight container in a cool and dry place up to two weeks.
Notes
- Spread Thinly – Ensure granola is in an even layer to avoid soggy or burnt spots.
- Cool Completely – Let it fully cool before breaking into clusters for the best texture.
- Add Mix-Ins Later – Stir in dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips after cooling to prevent burning.
- Watch Closely – Check near the end of baking to avoid overcooking.
