Ingredients

  • 3 cups gluten-free organic rolled oats
  • ¼ cup cacao OR cocoa powder (Vegan-approved!)
  • ¾ cup Hazelnut Non-dairy Beverage (I used Pacific Natural Foods)
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the hazelnut non-dairy beverage to a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it begins to boil. Add maple syrup and vanilla and continue mixing for another 3-4 minutes. Once combined, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, sea salt, and cinnamon and stir together until well combined.
  • Carefully pour the hazelnut-maple mixture onto the dry ingredients and toss together using a spatula.
  • Once done, spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • **NOTE: Please avoid stirring or tossing! In order to create clusters/chunks, you should bake it without touching!!
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 20-30 minutes. Once cooled, gently break granola apart into medium/large clusters and chunks. Add cranberries and gently toss.
  • To serve, add to a bowl of coconut milk (or your own non-dairy fave!) OR eat as a snack or atop yogurt, muffins, breakfast toast, pancakes, ice cream, etc.
  • Bon Appetite!

Notes

To Store: Add leftover granola to an airtight mason jars and/or container and/or zip loc bag. Keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.
