Savory Chocolate Granola
Ingredients
- 150 g Rolled Oats about 1½ cups
- 90 g Sliced Almonds about ¾ cup
- 30 g Cocoa Powder about ¼ cup
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 45 g Coconut Oil about 3 tbsp
- 20 g Sugar Free Syrup about 1 tbsp
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250’°
- In a large bowl toss together: oats, almonds, cocoa, and sugar.
- In a small bowl whisk together: coconut oil, syrup, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture, then stir to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Then spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 250’° for 50 minutes, then sprinkle with the salt, toss, and bake for another 10 minutes. The extra 10 minutes will allow the salt to stick to the granola, crystalize, and add that savory flavor!
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Then store in an air tight container, in a cool dry place.

NOTES FOR COUNTING MACROS:
Typically I give tips on how you can adjust my recipes to meet your macro requirements, but with baking that can be a little tricky. As a result this recipe doesn’t allow for many adjustments or it will not come together in the end. But I do hope you work this savory chocolate granola into your meal prep.
However you can adjust your macros by adjusting the portion size.
