Ingredients

Servings:

1 cup chickpeas dried, soaked overnight
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds raw
3/4 cups almonds slivered
1/2 cup coconut shredded
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp cinnamon divided
1/4 cup almond butter creamy
4 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp cacao powder
1/2 cup chocolate chunks (use dairy free to make vegan)
sprinkle salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine chickpeas with 1 tablespoon coconut oil and ½ tablespoon cinnamon and mix well
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add coated chickpeas
Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes (don’t over cook because we are baking again with granola!)
Let the chickpeas cool a bit then begin making granola
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Add roasted chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, silvered almonds, coconut shreds, and coconut flour in large bowl and mix
In a small saucepan, add coconut oil and almond butter. Warm over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to combine
Remove from heat and stir in cacao powder
Immediately pour over the dry ingredients and stir to combine until everything is fully covered
Arrange on a large baking sheet and spread into an even layer
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and then turn the pan to bake more (try to not shake the pan so it stays chunky!)
Bake about 10 minutes or so more, watching carefully as to not let it burn.
Let cool completely, then add in chocolate chunks and sprinkle sea salt on top
