Don't be deceived by its indulgent, chocolaty flavor--this granola contains less sugar than most. Introducing cocoa into the mix not only makes it delicious, but it also makes it better for you! Possibly... The point is this really tastes great, with a pronounced chocolate flavor, and would make a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers and hippies alike.

Time 1h10m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups rolled oats
¾ cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.

CHOCOLATE COVERED CEREAL

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups whole grain oat cereal, such as Cheerios
1 pound milk chocolate, tempered
4 cups corn flake cereal
1 pound dark chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • For the oat cereal: Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the cereal in a large bowl. Pour about half of the tempered chocolate over the cereal and, using a rubber spatula, toss the cereal around to coat evenly. The chocolate will begin to set. When the first coating has set, pour in the remaining chocolate and again toss to coat evenly.
  • Working quickly while the chocolate is still pliable, scoop up small mounds of the cereal and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Set aside for about 30 minutes (or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for no more than 10 minutes to speed the setting).
  • Layer the cereal clusters, separated by sheets of waxed paper, in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the corn flake cereal: Crunch up the cereal by hand, so as to break them up, but not pulverize them into crumbs. Add the crumbled cereal to the bowl of chocolate and toss to coat evenly.
  • Drop the cereal by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the sheet into the refrigerator to help the cornflake clusters set.
  • Package as you wish!
