Dairy free + Gluten Free + Refined Sugar Free Recipes
Vegan Chocolate Granola
This recipe requires the following ingredients:
Oats: I used gluten free oats, but regular oats are fine too.
Walnuts: I really love walnuts in my granola, its caramelized flavour is something unique!
Hazelnuts: a yummy and crunchy addition, it gives a lot to the taste!
Maple syrup: if you coat the oats in honey or syrup it will give your granola a crunchy, chunky texture.
Vanilla extract: it’s a lovely addition to your granola.
Oil: use healthy alternatives such as coconut, macadamia or extra-virgin olive oil.
Chocolate: vegan chocolate was used here.
These are just a few ideas but the list of optional mix-ins is much longer!
*Seeds: sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are great additions to your granola.
*Nuts: any raw nuts are fine here, try almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, cashews, peanuts or pistachios! Just make sure you don’t burn them in the oven as they get bitter.
*Spices: feel free to try mixed spices, cinnamon or a combination of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
*Dried fruit: if you want to add dried fruit, add it in the end, after the granola is baked, otherwise it will get very hard.

Notes
* To Store: For the longest shelf life, completely cool the granola before transferring to a storage container. When stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, in a cool, dry place, this granola will keep for up to 1-2 weeks, only if you can keep your hands off!
*To Freeze: This granola can be frozen for up to 2 months. Place it in a resealable freezer bag, and make sure you push out any excess air before freezing. Before serving warm it to room temperature for a few minutes.
