This 5-minute recipe is beyond simple! Follow the three easy steps below:

1. Add the oats, medjool dates, almonds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, and salt to a food processor.
2. Process the ingredients to form an evenly crumbled mixture.
3. Serve with fresh fruit and your favorite nondairy milk.

Kaylie’s tips:

• Use soft, fresh medjool dates. If you only have access to dry/hard dates, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes. After, drain the water and dry the dates with a paper towel.
• Remove the pits from your medjool dates. Purchase pitted medjool dates or remove them prior to processing.
• Use cocoa powder or cacao powder for this recipe! I used cocoa powder, but there are many benefits of raw cacao.
• Serve this raw granola with fresh fruit and plant milk, or sprinkle on top of yogurt, smoothie bowls, and oatmeal.
• Create bliss balls. That’s right – you can form bliss balls with this rawnola! Simply roll a tablespoon of rawnola into a round ball. Repeat to create as many bliss balls as desired.
• Keep this chocolate rawnola stored in a mason jar or airtight container. Place in the pantry to maintain a soft and chewy texture. If refrigerated, it will become a bit drier and harder.
