How To Make Purely Elizabeth Cookie Granola

Step One: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step Two: In a large bowl, combine melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step Three: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, oat flour, chia seeds, sea salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir until the oats are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step Four: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step Five: Once the granola is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. After cooling, fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.
