Decadent Berry Chocolate Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°. In a Dutch oven, heat oil and honey over low heat until blended, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cocoa and vanilla. Stir in oats, walnuts and Rice Krispies until coated., Spread evenly into a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 1 hour or until crisp, stirring every 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Immediately add chocolate chips and cranberries; stir until chocolate is completely melted., Return to baking pan, spreading evenly. Refrigerate until set. Break into pieces. Store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, seeds, brown sugar and salt.
• Combine the the oil, honey, water and vanilla. Add to oat mixture and toss until well combined.
• Spread the mixture evenly on a cookie sheet. Press lightly.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir occasionally if you like, but if you want clumps/clusters, DO NOT STIR at all!
• Allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a bowl and very gently fold in the chocolate chips. They should melt slightly in the warm granola.
• Depending on the size of berries you use, you might prefer to chop them into smaller pieces before adding them. If you want the chocolate to coat them, stir them in while still warm; otherwise cool completely before add in them.
• Store in an air tight container for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!).
