chef john's chocolate granola

chef john's chocolate granola
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup chopped almonds


  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.
