Ingredients

3 cups oats or gluten free oats
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup pistachios
¼ cup flaxseed meal
¼ cup cocoa powder
⅓ cup coconut sugar
flaked sea salt for sprinkling

Wet Ingredients

½ cup almond butter
⅓ cup maple syrup
2 tbsp almond milk or water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat add the almond butter, maple syrup and almond milk. Stir constantly until melty and smooth. About 1-2 minutes. Now stir in the vanilla. Do not heat up for too long otherwise you will melt the chocolate chips when you pour this over the dry mixture.
Now pour the wet mixture over the dry oat ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
Dump the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it down in an even layer. You can use a spoon or spatula to pack it down. Sprinkle the top with flaked sea salt.
Bake the granola for 20 minutes. Then turn the oven off and leave the granola in the oven for an hour.
Do not mix! Mixing the granola will not make clusters.
Once the granola has fully cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy!
