Instructions

WARM THE PEANUT BUTTER AND HONEY: In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir until smooth.
ADD REMAINING INGREDIENTS: Add in all the other ingredients and mix until combined. It's thick and messy at first, but just keep stirring until a good consistency is formed--you may need to lightly knead the mixture with your hands and then crumble to form granola crumbles.
STORAGE: Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool place for up to a week. We do like it best within 1-2 days.

Notes

Note 1: Cocoa powder: I highly recommend using a Dutch-process cocoa powder as opposed to a plain (natural) cocoa powder. Any Dutch cocoa powder will work, but Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder is readily available at most grocery stores.

Note 2: Oat flour is just regular oats that you blend or put in a food processor and pulse until they are a flour consistency. Measure the oat flour AFTER blending.

Note 3: This recipe yields 2 cups.
