Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (choose between smooth or crunchy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your preference for sweetness)

1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (or chocolate chips for convenience)

1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or any of your favorite nuts)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chopped dark chocolate, mixed nuts, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated, ensuring the chocolate and nuts are distributed throughout.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will be the binding agent for your granola rounds.

      Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the creamy wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until all dry ingredients are thoroughly coated. The mixture should have a sticky consistency that allows it to hold together but still be slightly crumbly.

        Form Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small rounds about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each round to flatten slightly, ensuring they maintain their shape.

          Chill Time: Once all the rounds are shaped, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Let them chill for approximately 1 hour or until they are completely solid and firm.

            Store and Enjoy: Once frozen, carefully transfer the granola rounds to an airtight container for storage. Keep them in the freezer, and they’re ready to enjoy straight from there whenever you crave a sweet yet nutritious snack.
