Gentle Tummy
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

DRY INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • 3-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

WET INGREDIENTS:

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1/3 cup of almonds into a food blender. I like to use the convenient chopper cup that works with my immersion blender. Pulse the almonds until chopped. You can also use store-bought slivered almonds if you prefer.
    1/3 cup almonds
  • Pour the chopped almonds, old-fashioned oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir it with a spatula until well combined.
    You can also use quick oats, but I prefer old-fashioned oats for granola. The oat flakes are larger, which creates larger clumps of granola. I find them easier and more satisfying to eat as granola cereal in a bowl of milk.
    3-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Combine the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a bowl and stir with a fork until well combined.
    1/3 cup almond butter, 1/3 cup coconut oil, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 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.
  • Line a large 17-inch baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper about 2 inches larger than the pan. Dump the granola into the center of the pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
    Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips over the granola.
    1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • Bake at 350°F for a total of 14 minutes. Set the timer for 7 minutes. Pull the sheet pan out of the oven and gently lift the sides of the parchment paper to redistribute the granola. Then spread the granola with a spatula. Stirring the granola will ensure it cooks evenly. Then return to the oven and bake for seven more 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.
