Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a big bowl, toss together the oats, almonds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, brown sugar, and dried fruit—adding each ingredient one at a time and giving it a good stir before moving on. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and vanilla extract, then pour this over the oat mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until the oats and nuts are nicely coated. Spread the granola evenly on your baking sheet and pop it in the oven. After about 20 minutes, give it a good stir, then bake for another 25 minutes or so until it turns a lovely golden brown. Let it cool for around 20 minutes, then gently fold in the chocolate chips so they start to melt a bit and coat the granola. Once completely cooled, it’s ready to store or enjoy!
