Ingredients
  • 3 ½ cups gluten-free oats
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup desiccated coconut
  • ¾ cup coconut flakes
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Prepare a large baking tray by covering it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free oats with the chopped pecans, desiccated coconut, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
  3. In a microwaveable jug, combine the coconut oil and the maple syrup. Heat in 15-second increments until the coconut oil is fully liquid.
  4. Mix the vanilla extract into the other liquids.
  5. Pour the liquids over the dry oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to thoroughly coat everything in the coconut oil and maple syrup.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until it is turning golden.
  7. Remove the granola from the oven and add the chocolate chips to the tray. Roughly mix everything together and allow the chocolate to partially melt.
  8. Allow the granola to cool completely and become crisp before transferring it to an airtight container. Serve and enjoy with your chosen milk accompaniment.
