INGREDIENTS

  • Sweeteners

    • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
    • ¼ cup maple syrup

  • Fat and flavoring

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Spices and seasonings

    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (Optional)

  • Dry ingredients

    • 🍫 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 2 cups rolled oats
    • 🌰 ¾ cup chopped almonds

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

2

Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly.

3

Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more.

5

Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.
