GRANOLA

GRANOLA
4
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well so everything is evenly coated.
BAKING
5
Spread the granola mixture onto two large jelly roll pans in an even layer.
6
Bake for 50 minutes total, stopping halfway through to shake or stir the granola to ensure even baking.
COATING
7
After baking, evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the granola. Return the granola to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate chips have softened.
8
Sprinkle the remaining turbinado sugar and a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate chips.
STORAGE

Allow the granola to stand for one to two hours until cooled.

Once cooled, gently transfer the granola into airtight containers or jars. If transferring while the chocolate chips are still soft, they will melt into the clusters, creating a wonderfully rich texture once cooled.
