Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Protein powder (chocolate flavor)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate-flavored protein powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture until fully combined and warm but not hot.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are well coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is fragrant and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up further as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, add the dark chocolate chips, tossing to evenly disperse them throughout the granola.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
