Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats certifed gluten-free for allergies
- 1 cup raw almonds roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut shredded or in large pieces
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup honey

- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut, hemp seeds, cacao powder and salt.
- In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil with honey. Pour over top of dry ingredients in large bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread granola mixture out onto the cookie sheet, using the back of a spoon to pack together in the shape of a rectangle. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven so be sure to keep an eye on it! Set aside to cool without stirring.
