Making your very own Chocolate Granola is super easy and you'll only need 5 basic ingredients! It's vegan, gluten-free and stores well for a long time!

Ever since I bought a label maker for my kitchen pantry, I've been obsessed with making granola from scratch. I know, this is such a weird trigger!

I just love the sight of having a (beautifully labeled) jar of granola waiting for me on the kitchen counter whenever I'm up for a quick breakfast, snack, or sweet treat!

Those big chunks of chocolate granola are pure chocolate bliss!

How To Make Chocolate Granola

You'll only need 5 ingredients to make this vegan Chocolate Granola:

Coconut Oil
Maple Syrup
Cocoa Powder
Rolled Oats (make sure you're using gluten-free certified oats if you have a gluten intolerance)
Chocolate Chips (you could even leave those out but chocolate chips make everything better, so why would anyone do that?)

Making Chocolate Granola — Step 1: Combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Stir in oats. Fold in chocolate.

Chocolate Granola in a baking dish — Step 2: Fill the mixture in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake approx. 20 minutes at 360°F/180°C.

How to store granola

Granola lasts for weeks if you do it right. It’s important to let the granola cool off COMPLETELY. Then pour it into an air-tight glass jar. And close the lid. This is the perfect fuss-free breakfast! Just add plant-based milk, vegan yogurt, or nice cream. Boom. Done. Breakfast is served.

The best Plant-Based Milk for Granola

Of course, this is totally subjective. But here are my favorites for this Chocolate Granola:

Almond Milk (Want to make your own? Here's a recipe for 3-Ingredient Almond Milk)
Rice Coconut Milk
Hazelnut Milk (LOVE this recipe for Date-Sweetened Hazelnut Milk)
