Description

Offering a combination of sweet, crunchy and savory flavors, this granola bark is the kind of dish that leaves you coming back for more. Made with a combination of old-fashioned oats, dark chocolate, coconut and pumpkin seeds, this sweet treat is both satisfying and wholesome.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil such as canola oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (ideally unsweetened)
  • 2 cups 70% dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Line two 10in x 15 in (25cm x 38cm) baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
  3. Chop the dried fruit (as needed) and set aside.
  4. Add the oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, vegetable oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well-combined.
  5. Pour the oat mixture onto one of the baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Spread the oat mixture into a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Insert the oat mixture into the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until just golden at the edges. Allow the granola to cool and sprinkle in the dried fruit.
  6. Break the dark chocolate into chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. (Time varies, but I recommend heating in 30-second bursts and stirring in between.).
  7. Pour the melted chocolate onto the second lined baking sheet. Spread the chocolate into a thin, even layer with a spatula.
  8. Sprinkled the granola on top of the melted chocolate. You will probably have more granola than you need – store the remaining granola in an air-tight container.
  9. Place the granola bark in the fridge for at least an hour or until completely hard.
  10. Break into bite-size pieces and enjoy!

Notes

Raw pumpkin seeds can be substituted for raw chopped nuts
