Indulge in this protein-packed, chocolatey delight that satisfies your cravings while keeping you energized!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of almond butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the almond butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until the oats are well coated.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped almonds and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture evenly in a greased baking dish or lined tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting into bars or crumbling for your granola bowl.
To serve, crumble the baked granola into a bowl, add 1 cup of milk, and top with additional chocolate chips or nuts as desired.
