Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Granola
© 2024 Wicked Foods Inc. All rights reserved.
Store-bought granola costs a fortune and tends to be full of sugar, salt, and usually contains honey. Making this vegan chocolate hazelnut granola yourself means more control over what goes in, with no sacrifice on flavour! This recipe is packed with seeds, nuts, and cacao nibs for a satisfyingly chocolatey flavour.

Notes
This is a super easy recipe with only four steps. Follow these tips and you can’t go wrong! Next stop: perfect granola!
Start With the Dry Ingredients
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. I’ve picked my favourite seeds for this recipe but feel free to swap them out for alternatives. You could try sesame seeds, flax seeds, hemp hearts, or even chia seeds.
Combine Your Wet Ingredients
Next mix the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a separate bowl. You can sub the coconut oil for any other neutral vegetable oil if needs be. You can also use any other sugar syrup for this recipe instead of maple syrup – such as brown rice syrup, agave syrup, or golden syrup.
Combine the Two
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, making sure the oats are thoroughly mixed through. Spread out on a baking tray lined with parchment in a nice, even layer.
Bake the Granola
Place the granola in the oven and bake for a total of 30 minutes, stirring the granola half-way through. Allow the granola to cool fully before serving or storing.
