Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for the drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together both types of oats, flour, and coconut flakes.
- In a microwaveable bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sugar, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well. Heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. Add the vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the oat mixture and stir until the oats are completely coated. Spread the mixture into a thin, even layer on the parchment-lined baking tray. Press gently to flatten. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the oats are completely dried out and crisp.
- Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle evenly over the baked granola. Once cool, break up the granola and store at room temperature in an airtight container.
