To Roast And Peel Hazelnuts

1. If you have pre-roasted and peeled hazelnuts, skip this step. Preheat oven to 350F. Place hazelnuts with skins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Wrap the warm hazelnuts into a clean dish towel and use the towel to rub the skins off.

To Make The Granola

1. Preheat oven to 300F. In a bowl combine oats, coconut, almonds, and hazelnuts. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt, stirring to combine. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture is smooth and melted. Pour chocolate mixture into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Spread granola mixture evenly onto a lightly greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake granola at 300F for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned and crunchy, stirring midway through baking so it cooks evenly. Remove from the oven and let cool thoroughly before storing in a container. Yields about 4 cups of granola.
