I’ve been a tad addicted to granola lately. It’s the easiest thing in the world to throw together, only takes about 30 minutes, and is great for an on-the-go breakfast or snack. What could be better? Last week I shared a Pumpkin Spice Granola but this week…this week I’m sharing one even better. Chocolate Fudge Coconut Granola.
Yes it’s amazing and yes you’ll be making it three times a week like I am after you try it.
First of all how could something with chocolate fudge not be dreamy? The creamy sweet chocolate folded into the crisp shreds of dried coconut and assorted nuts and seeds makes one perfect granola.
Truly, I don’t think I’ll ever make another granola recipe again.
Of course this is great on it’s own but I urge you to try a crumble or two on top of ice cream or with a splash of coconut milk for a fun morning cereal or midnight snack.
Plus you won’t feel guilty like you do when you buy the store bought kind with loads of unneccesary sugar added to it. A few tablespoons of maple syrup is all you need to sweeten things up a bit.

Instructions
More TIPS about this paleo recipe in the post above!
Preheat oven to 300° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In your food processor or blender pulse the nuts until they are broken down to the size you want. I like mine on the chunky side but be sure not to over process.
Place the nuts in a large bowl and toss with chia seeds and coconut flakes.
In a small pot over low heat melt the coconut oil. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Pour the fudge over the granola and toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly onto the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes stirring once or twice.
Recipe Notes
*It's hard to tell if the mixture is done since it's already brown from the chocolate. Simply take a bite of a nut to gauge the doneness. It should taste toasted and crunchy.

Hi Lauren,
This recipe looks great.Do you soak the nuts overnight prior to making?
Also. Have you tried baking at a lower temperature for longer time period?Take Care
KellyLauren
ReplyNope, no soaking required but if you’d like to sprout them first that would be fine!

ReplyIS THIS UNDER 5 GRMAS SUGAR??
Lauren
ReplyNo, the dates contain natural sugar. Feel free to plug in the ingredients to your favorite nutrition calculator.
Maia
ReplyCould oats be subbed in for some of the nuts? Or maybe just added? For something a bit lower in fat and calories.
Lauren
ReplyHi Maia, that’s the great thing about granola is that you can add it whatever you like!

ReplyCan we substitute the maple syrup for honey? It’s difficult to get maple syrup here in Portugal.
Lauren
ReplySure thing! Honey will work 1:1
Jess
ReplyThis looks yummo! Can I store this like normal granola? And how long will it keep? ?
Lauren
ReplyHi Jess, yes you can store it like normal granola! I keep it in a Weck jar and it lasts a little over a week. Maybe longer if you don’t eat it so quick 😉
