Chop the peanuts in a food processor or chopper cup.
1/3 cup peanuts
Combine the chopped peanuts, oats, chia seeds, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir with a spatula until combined.
3-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats,3 tablespoons chia seeds,2 tablespoons coconut sugar,2 teaspoons cinnamon,1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warm and melted. It takes about 30-45 seconds.
1/4 cup peanut butter,1/4 cup coconut oil,1/4 cup honey,1 teaspoon vanilla extract,1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until all the oats are coated.
Add chocolate chips to bowl and gently stir until combined.
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Line a large 17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the parchment 2 inches larger than the sheet pan. Pour the granola into the center of the pan and spread with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Bake at 325°F. Set the timer for 8 minutes. Pull the sheet pan out of the oven and gently stir to redistribute the granola. Stirring the granola will ensure it cooks evenly. Then return to the oven and bake for eight more minutes for a total of 16 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack until the chocolate is cooled and solidified. Store in an airtight container.
