Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups Old-fashioned Rolled Oats (not Instant); 1 cup Sweetened, Flaked Coconut; 1/4 cups Vegetable Oil; 1/3 cups Sliced Almonds; 1/2 cups Chopped Pecans; 1/3 cups Green (hulled) Pumpkin Seeds, Not Roasted; 1/3 cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar; 1/4 cups Mild Honey; 1 pinch Cinnamon; 1 pinch Salt; 1/2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Servings: persons

3 cups Old-fashioned Rolled Oats (not Instant)
1 cup Sweetened, Flaked Coconut
1/4 cups Vegetable Oil
1/3 cups Sliced Almonds
1/2 cups Chopped Pecans
1/3 cups Green (hulled) Pumpkin Seeds, Not Roasted
1/3 cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cups Mild Honey
1 pinch Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt
1/2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F with the rack in the middle .
2
Stir together all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, until combined. Evenly spread the mixture on a large, shallow baking pan, or rimmed cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 20-35 minutes. Begin closely checking the granola every 5 minutes after the 15-minute mark because the granola has a tendency to burn quickly and the cocoa will make it hard to see any burnt areas.
3
Transfer the granola, still in the pan, to a rack to cool for 45 minutes. After 15 minutes, begin stirring the granola carefully. This is the step which gives the granola its typical clusters, so be careful not to stir too enthusiastically and break up the clusters.
4
Mix in the semisweet chips.
5
Keep the granola in an airtight container, frozen, for up to a few months.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
