Equipment

Standard loaf pan

Ingredients

2 tbsp maple syrup (42 g)
1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g) I used almond butter
1 tbsp coconut oil (14 g) sub more nut/seed butter or any other oil or (plant) butter
pinch of salt, drop of vanilla
3/4 cup oats (60 g) I used half rolled half quick oats but both will work
1/4 cup flour, gf if desired (30 g) I used oat flour. Almond flour, or half and half flax seed meal + flour also works for a nutritional boost!
2 tbsp chocolate chips (28 g) use minis or chop them small so you get chocolate in every bite

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line your loaf pan with parchment.
In a medium bowl microwave (10 secs is enough) coconut oil, nut butter, maple syrup, pinch of salt and a drop of vanilla.
Add your oats, flour, chocolate (chop your chocolate if not using minis) and mix to combine. Make sure all oats are coated.
Pour this into the baking dish, gently tuck it in but don't press it down hard or you'll bake granola bars instead :) I got the best crunchy clusters when I left it somewhat loose in the pan (unfortunately not as pictured here LOL).
Bake for 25 minutes until golden on top.
Let granola cool completely (at least 1 hour, ideally refrigerate overnight) before removing from the baking dish and breaking up into clusters.
Store in a sealed container. Enjoy!
