This Chocolate Sea Salt Paleo Granola is the perfect healthy breakfast or snack to cure all your chocolate cravings. Each paleo granola cluster is coated in a rich chocolate sauce and then topped with sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Chocolate for breakfast, anyone?

When I was a kid I always chose the chocolate breakfast cereals over the sweet ones. Give me a bowl of Reese’s Puffs instead of Trix any day! This chocolate paleo granola brings me back to those days of sweet chocolate cereal for breakfast.

This is a completely grain-free granola recipe that is made with seeds, nuts, coconut, and a rich chocolate coating. Bake up a batch of this paleo granola for the perfect blend of sweet and salty!

What kitchen tools will I need to make this Chocolate Sea Salt Paleo Granola?

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Spatula

What ingredients will I need to make this healthy chocolate granola?

  • Sliced almonds
  • Unsweetened coconut chips
  • Roughly chopped pecans
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Salt
  • Cocoa powder
  • Maple syrup
  • Coconut oil

Let’s make some Chocolate Sea Salt Paleo Granola!

Step 1: Mix dry ingredients

First, preheat oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Toss to distribute cocoa powder evenly.

Step 2: Coat dry ingredients with wet ingredients

Next, heat coconut oil and maple syrup until the coconut oil melts. Pour wet mixture over dry and toss to combine evenly.

Step 3: Bake, cool, and crumble

Then, spread granola over a baking sheet into a then even layer. Make sure the ingredients all touch each other so that clusters form. Bake at 300F for 35 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool fully. Finally, crumble granola into clusters.

Once the granola has cooled fully you can crumble the granola and store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 7 days.

    I love this recipe! I’ve been looking for a grain free low sugar granola for the longest time. I didn’t think it was going to be so easy to make granola so I’ve been avoiding making it for the longest time. This recipe is so delicious and super easy, my new go to recipe for granola from now on. Thank you!!!

    This method is so easy! Sometimes granola calls for egg whites or getting more dishes dirty. But this is my new go to. I tried it when I did keto and used a maple syrup substitute, so delicious, I would snack on it or top my yogurt with it. Now that I’m eating regular maple syrup, it’s even tastier. Love it!
