Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Add maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and whisk together.

4. Add mixture to a baking sheet and spread out evenly.

Notes

• Storage: Store in an airtight container in cupboard for up to 6 months.
• Chocolate Chips: When I first made this recipe I added the chocolate chips to the pan as soon as the granola was taken out of the oven. This was a mistake. I recommend allowing the granola to cool fully before adding chocolate chips. This will help prevent “chocolate bloom” (the white/grey exterior that appears on chocolate due to a quick temperature change).
