This is the ultimate double chocolate coconut vegan granola recipe. Crunchy, chewy, chocolatey, coconutty, not too sweet, very slightly salty.....Just perfect!
Can you tell I'm excited? I mean it's got chocolate on/in it so it's gotta be good, right?
It's no secret that I love granola. Have you tried my Vegan Almond Hemp Granola? It's so good!
And I've had this new granola under my hat (not literally...that would just be weird) for ages. As I said when I published my Chocolate Tahini Crunch Bars, I have a bit of a chocolate obsession and if I let this obsession take hold, everything on this blog would be chocolate coated.
That would be even weirder....
So, I control myself for the sake of normality (and my waistline) and try to space out my chocolate recipes. It's actually been three weeks since I published a chocolatey recipe and I literally could not wait any longer.
This Double Chocolate Coconut Vegan Granola recipe is so good. Every-time I make it I make a double batch and it disappears within days. My husband has his hand in the granola jar every-time he enters the kitchen and, if I am honest, I do too.
It is so extremely easy to make. All you need are a few minutes of your time to mix it all up plus fifteen minutes to bake it. Keep it in an airtight container and it lasts for a few weeks....Ha ha! Who am I kidding? I honestly have no idea how long it lasts. There is no way we could have a jar of this taunting us from the kitchen for weeks. When I say it lasts for a few weeks I am going by other granolas which I have made in the past. I am sure that this one will too, but can virtually guarantee that you will never find out because it quite simply will not be around long enough.
This granola is great as a quick snack by the handful or with smoothie bowls. Try it with my Healthy Chocolate Smoothie. It is also awesome with vegan yogurt. Scattered with a few raspberries, it is breakfast perfection.

Recipe
Double Chocolate Coconut Granola Vegan
Author:Ingredients
- 2 cups (180 grams) rolled oats

- ¼ cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (60 mls) coconut butter sometimes known as coconut manna, (NOT oil) melted & measured while liquid
- ¼ cup (60 mls) brown rice syrup , or maple syrup but you won't get quite the same chewy, crunch
- ¼ cup (60 mls) maple syrup , (only use if you use brown rice syrup. If you subbed maple syrup for brown rice syrup then you don't need any extra)
- ½ teaspoon salt
