Recipe Steps steps 6 1 h 15 min
Step 1
Choose slivered or sliced almonds, or chop your own into small pieces. Combine them with flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. Then, toast the seeds at low heat in a skillet until they become fragrant – about 60-90 seconds.
Step 2
Add the toasted nuts and seeds to a large mixing bowl. Melt coconut oil in the microwave, then stir it into the warm nuts. While they’re still warm, stir almond butter, peanut butter, honey, and salt into the mixing bowl of nuts and seeds
Step 3
Stir the liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and pea protein powder into the granola mixture last. Line a 7×5 rectangular dish with parchment paper, then pour the granola mixture into the dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture into all four corners of the dish.
Step 4
Freeze the granola for at least 30 minutes or until firm. Next, make a double boiler on your stove to melt the chocolate chips and the final amount of coconut oil (about 120 chocolate chips = 1 ounce). You may want to double the chocolate and coconut oil you need just to ensure you have enough where it doesn’t burn over the heat.
Step 5
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the double boiler to make a chocolate sauce. Remove the chocolate from the heat, and stir it to cool it down a little. Drizzle the warm chocolate over the frozen granola.
Step 6
Return the granola to your freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Then, use the parchment paper to pull the granola out of the dish. Slice the granola into bars and enjoy. Keep chilled.
