How To Make This Chocolate Granola

Sweetened flaked coconut is toasted while the oven heats up to 325 degrees F. It takes the bite out of the coconut, adds a bit of color and flavor.

Old-fashioned oats and a mix of pecans, walnuts and almonds are tossed together in a large bowl.

Light brown sugar, honey, and unsalted butter are brought to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. The mixture is stirred until smooth and removed from the heat.

Vanilla bean paste, salt, and cocoa powder are stirred into the sugar mixture.

The warm mixture is poured over the oats and nuts, and stirred together using a spatula, a wooden spoon or your hands.

Once the oats are evenly coated, the granola is transferred to a parchment lined baking sheet, spread out, and baked in a 325 degrees F oven for 10 minutes. The oats are stirred and returned to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

The granola is completely cooled and tossed with the reserved toasted coconut and some semisweet chocolate chips (optional).
