Ingredients

  • 1 lb mixed nuts about 3 cups - I used pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Fudge

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 6 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch sea salt
  1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In your food processor or blender pulse the nuts until they are broken down to the size you want. I like mine on the chunky side but be sure not to over process.
  3. Place the nuts in a large bowl and toss with chia seeds and coconut flakes.
  4. In a small pot over low heat melt the coconut oil. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the fudge over the granola and toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly onto the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes stirring once or twice.

Recipe Notes

*It's hard to tell if the mixture is done since it's already brown from the chocolate. Simply take a bite of a nut to gauge the doneness. It should taste toasted and crunchy.
