This Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola is the perfect,
healthy pre-workout breakfast.
Sweet, crunchy and filling using oats, maple syrup & organic coconut oil.
I make a big batch,
store it and use it for weeks! You can
even eat it as a snack with some nuts or on top of yogurt.
Tastes better than most store-bought granolas, which are typically made with not-good-for-you canola oil and
sweeteners. Not to mention, it’s super easy to make.
Vita Coco sent me some of their new
organic coconut oil
to taste test and whip up some recipes so I had to make this:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola
What You Need:
1/2 cup Vita Coco coconut oil
1/2 cups maple syrup (or coconut palm sugar, brown rice syrup, raw honey)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
optional – 1/2 tsp chia seeds or hemp seeds
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Mix coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract together and then add in dry ingredients (oats, chocolate chips, coconut and chia/hemp seeds) and mix well.
3. Spread mixture onto cookie sheet evenly
4. Bake for 15 minutes total (*check oven and mix it up every 5 min so it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn)
5. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving
Serves 6
Voila! Enjoy!
