Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

With 2 kinds of oats, rice crisps, and coconut flakes this Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola is the ultimate crunchy, cluster-packed sweet snack or cereal!

Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola

Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola courtesy of yours truly. Falsely festive vibes courtesy of striped dishtowel. There is nothing holiday-flavored about this granola, but from the look of things you would think it was made of nothing but candy canes and fruitcake. In real life those stripes are actually much more magenta than Christmas red, so I wasn’t going for the candy striped look. But hey, we started the week with gingerbread, why not keep the premature holiday mood rolling.

Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola

I suppose you could say homemade granola dressed up in a ribbon-wrapped mason jar would be a lovely holiday gift. Or you could say chocolate is always appropriate no matter the holiday. Or you could say that sprinkling on extra coconut after baking looks like snow flurries falling on granola ground.

But I really just whipped up this super easy snack/cereal because it is long past time I expanded on my original oil-free but oh so crunchy granola with some flavor fun! And chocolate seemed like the obvious place to start. And coconut seemed like the obvious mix-in match.

Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola

I have also found a new favorite granola addition: steel cut oats! I stand by my original combination of rolled oats and crispy brown rice cereal, but add steel cut oats in too and the texture is even better. Light airy crunch of crispy rice, chewy granola-familiar flakes of rolled oats, and crunchy little nubs of steel cut oats–that’s a lot of textural diversity.

Take all that texture plus chocolate, coat it in my oil-free granola-crunchifying secret weapon, maple syrup, stir in the coconut flakes, and you have the perfect sweet snack-able cacao coconut clusters!

Or cereal. I’m usually more of a granola by the handful or as a topping for creamy things kind of person. But chocolate granola is a different story because 3 words: chocolate cereal milk. 

Oil-Free Chocolate Coconut Granola

Speaking of breakfast foods that can also be snack foods that are really easy to make (okay that was a stretch)…did you see the English muffin recipe I shared on The Big Man’s World this week? Made with oats. Made without oil. Made in the microwave in 2 minutes (or there’s an oven option!) Made to be slathered with jam or nut butter or frosting!

    Oh so yummy! Funny, this morning my daughter woke up and wanted chocolate for breakfast. I ended up making some raw chocolate granola-ish bars/bites, but next time I’m making this! I don’t make nearly enough granola even though I love it with a splash of coconut milk or on top of nice cream. Can’t wait to try this!

      Hmmm I wake up every morning with the same thought, the struggle is not ALWAYS acting on it haha? How lucky that she has you and your mad kitchen skills to just whip up something chocolatey on the spot! I don’t make granola enough either, not sure why that is because I love it. Mmmm yes on nicecream–that’s my favorite way too <3

Yummo! 🙂 I’ve decided that most of my Xmas gifts this year will be some sort of homemade snacks, so this will be a perfect recipe for me to use! Pinning it for sure! xxx

    Haha. I think I like this style of “falsely festive” vibes. 😉 The candy cane-esque stripes really do add a super fun Christmas-y feel to this post. Either way, I know I MUST have all of this granola! I love that you put this chocolate and coconut-ty twist on your already awesome oil-free granola recipe. Also, that shot with the pouring milk is INSANE. And by insane, of course, I mean it’s amazing. (They totally mean the same thing, right??) Love it. Woohoo on steel-cut oats. There’s just something sexy and cool about that name, right? Haha. And lastly, your English muffin recipe is incredible. So… can you bring over some granola, a funfetti cupcake or two, and some English muffins so we can have the most awesome breakfast ever? 😉

And to eat all the chocolate clusters of course, but mostly the first one 😉 Oh I can’t even tell you how many pour shots I attempt that never see the light of day (light of internet?), that was a lucky one! Ha steel cut oats–the epitome of sexy? Did you mention cupcakes in those breakfast plans!? Then heck yes, be right there…<3

    This looks so good! I love chocolate granola…I make a chocolate cinnamon granola quite often and it is so good in cereal as well! Granola are the best snacks and I send them to school with Olivia. We just finished off a pumpkin spice batch, so since I already have steel cut oats in the pantry, I will need to try this with those! I’ve never tried them in granola before, but I imagine they would definitely add an awesome texture. I’m with you on the maple syrup, it’s the only sweetener I’ve ever used for years in my granola…so much flavor and crunch! To me, granola is a problem though, because no matter how big of a batch I make, I can’t keep my hands off of eating it constantly! It’s sooo addictive. I imagine I would have the same “problem” with this amazing recipe, too, lol! Oh, and I love your festive striped red towel…perfect for following up with gingerbread, heck yeah!

      Mmmm chocolate cinnamon granola sounds wonderful! I know for a fact I would have a very hard time not plowing through that batch much too quickly one handful at a time. I’m safer eating it as cereal, once I start just snacking on it there is no stopping haha. Maple syrup is just the bomb in general, isn’t it!? I go through so much it’s ridiculous. I ran out the other day, ran to the store just for that, and came home with 30 dollars worth of nothing but maple syrup lol. Might as well stock up 😀 I am totally being that person who just skips over Thanksgiving and jumps straight to Christmas this year it seems, but oh well! Thanks Brandi!

    Chocolate is ALWAYS a good place to start ? I’ve never had steel cut oats before but I’m loving the textures in here! Haha!! Chocolate cereal milk ? Mmmm, I would totally devour a bowl of this granola and (chocolate) milk. YUM! I was always an eat-it-by-the-handful or throw it on a smoothie bowl kind of girl, but when it comes to chocolatey things, milk is a perfect way to pair it. Goodness, yet another recipe to add to my list! XO

      Hmm I’ve never tried freezing granola so I can’t say, but I’m guessing it will be soggy/mushy after thawing. But even at room temp if you seal it really well it can last a couple of weeks 🙂

      The recipe already calls for oatmeal, that is what the rolled oats are. But you could use more oats in place of the cereal, yes. Although if you make that substitution it won’t be quite as much, probably just 1/2-3/4 cup for the 1 cup cereal 🙂

    Hi Natalie,
    Knowing my oven, I’ve put it on a lower temperature and it still got burnt pretty quickly.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      November 7, 2017 at 4:35 pm

      Definitely lower temp, did you do 350 or 325? And then just less time–check it at 5 minutes or so and then just keep a close eye on it. You could try stirring it up halfway through the cooking, that will definitely help prevent burning, but you won’t get as big of clusters then. Hope those tips can help!

          325 should be good, I wouldn’t go much lower than that. The stirring will definitely help though 🙂

    I just made this and it tastes amazing! I had never used steel cut oats in granola before but really added a nice texture. Where I live I could not find crispy brown rice cereal so I just used plain puffed rice and it worked fine, but I imagine it being even crunchier with the crispy kind. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe, will make again soon!

    A couple of questions. Can I use date paste if I don’t have maple syrup? Also, do you cook the steel cut oats or just use them raw? This looks so good and I can’t wait to make it!

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      November 24, 2018 at 11:51 am

      I used raw steel cut oats, cooked they will be too mushy. And I don’t recommend date paste for this recipe, the water in it will make the granola chewy and soft instead of crunchy, but I do have this date-sweetened granola recipe instead: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/date-sweetened-3-seed-granola/

    So since my first comment I have made this two more times. It’s never even made it to the cereal bowl cause I just can’t stop munching on it. The second batch I made earlier this week was pumpkin spice. Used this recipe but left out the cocoa and added 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and 1 tsp of vanilla. Still just used half the called for amount of maple syrup and about a qtr tsp of stevia. It was delicious. Today I’m back to the chocolate version…..this may become a daily obsession. 🙄

    Ok so this is my third comment on this recipe. It’s my go to for granola. I’ve made so many variations of this and it is so good every time. Today I tried lemon ginger. In place of cocoa powder I Added zest from one lemon and juice from half and about a half tsp powdered ginger. Still use half the amount Of maple syrup and just a sprinkle of stevia and it is sweetened just right. Also used buckwheat groats because I was out of steel
    Cut oats and it was fantastic. Thank the again for such a great and versatile recipe.

      Sure! Just stir it right after you take it out of the oven, it solidifies into the big clumps as it cools so if you stir before that it will be smaller pieces 🙂

Blend filling ingredients until very smooth. Toss diced apples with the maple syrup and cinnamon until evenly coated and juicy. Fold/swirl into the cheesecake base. Spoon on top of the crusts, filling each to the top (makes 12-18 minis)

Freeze overnight. Defrost about 5 minutes, then gently remove from the pan using the parchment strips or a dull knife to pop them out. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

-1/2–2/3 cup water
-8–10 pitted (160g) medjool dates
-1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
-pinch of salt
-3/4 cup (85g) coconut flour
-1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips

Blend pumpkin, dates, 1/2 cup water, spice, and salt. Add more water slowly as necessary until you have a thick paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in coconut flour until you have a ball of dough. Shape into a rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

Melt the chocolate chips (optionally add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a thinner/smoother coating). Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 12 rectangles. Dip each into the melted chocolate coating on all sides. Transfer to a pan or plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down da NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down dairy-free soft serve daily until the weather forces me to switch to stop🍦 If you don’t own a creami, THIS is the ultimate easy blender method!

INGREDIENTS
-15oz can coconut milk
-1 cup nut/seed butter of choice (I used sunbutter)
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Toppings of choice

Pour coconut milk (shake before opening) into an ice cream tray and freeze overnight . Blend the cubes + remaining ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. You will need to use the tamper and stop to scrape down the sides frequently, try to avoid adding extra liquid. Spoon into bowls as is. Or transfer to a piping bag, freeze for 30 mins or so, then swirl into bowls or cones for the “froyo” look. Top and enjoy!
