This Homemade Chocolate Granola with Raspberries is a wholesome, crunchy blend of oats, nuts, cocoa, and natural sweeteners, finished with dark chocolate and tart raspberries for a satisfying, feel-good treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped raw almonds or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chia seeds, flax seeds, or shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, salt, and any optional add-ins.
  3. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it down lightly for clusters.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  6. Allow to cool completely without disturbing to form chunks.
  7. Once cool, mix in chocolate chunks and freeze-dried raspberries.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for a softer texture, though rolled oats are preferred.
  • Press down the granola before baking and avoid stirring to encourage clusters.
  • Substitute nut butter or mashed banana for an oil-free version.
  • Use pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free variation.
  • Add fresh raspberries only before serving to prevent sogginess.
