[@DrGlynnWix]

For anyone needing the metric conversions: Chocolate Mud 80 g packed brown sugar (1/3 cup) 80 g maple syrup (1/4 cup) 27 g coconut/vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon fine salt) pinch of cayenne 22 g unsweetened cocoa (3 tablespoons, Dutch-processed if possible) Granola 205 g rolled oats (2 cups) 100 g chopped almonds (3/4 cup)

[@DrGlynnWix]

Also, he legit wasn't joking when he said you'd want to eat it all yourself! My partner and I have gone through 2 batches in less than two weeks, eating 50g with yogurt every morning. I'm not sure I'll eat any other kind!

[@ivymiraculous-fan467]

Natalie Glynn thank you for the conversion x

[@Juleru]

I've got a similar recipe but I only use 1 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp sugar for 200g rolled oats - it's still a bit sweet but so much healthier. ;) To make regular crunchy cereal, simply replace the cocoa with regular flour and add e.g. cashew nuts before baking and raisins+coconut chips after baking.

[@retnopidekso]

Thank you

[@deryakaya7528]

Thanks girl❤

[@oncorhynchusnerka3900]

I feel like some hazelnuts would go wonderfully in this

[@lisa.tt.]

This is awesome, thank you Chef John. My daughter is allergic to dairy and so can't have store bought. I shall be making this for our family. Cheers from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

[@laurafordesvideos]

Lisa T&T You certainly can’t go wrong with homemade, I think it is best these days!

[@lisa.tt.]

Laura Forde's Videos so true Laura.

[@lumijo2407]

This looks absolutely delicious, and a fantastic Mother's Day gift. I'm going to give a version of this a go without nuts, and likely the chunkier, slightly chewier version of the bake.

[@FesixGermany]

Tried it myself today and it turned out wonderful! I just used beet syrup as a substitute for the maple syrup as my grocery store didn't have any, mixing was a bit harder but turned out great anyway.

[@ianhayden6088]

Gosh darn it Chef John, this was one day late! I had to do a project that had oats and chocolate in it, and if I used this I would’ve won the competition!

[@fairunfair3443]

Looks so good!

[@dianaa3963]

Chef John did it again. This recipe was absolutely delicious. Plenty sweet following the recipe.

[@ajchimawatanaporn4495]

Thank you Chef John. Made this today and it is soooo chocolicious!!!

[@aarongonzalez2297]

I've watch almost all your videos very inspirational especially when I cook for my kids

[@PhillipH-san]

Dang, I I'm going to take your advice and make this for my mom on mother's day. Of course I'm going to have to buy some really fancy vanilla yoghurt and such. But I've got the perfect stuff in mind. Merci, Chef John!

[@_Solmega]

Love how simple! I may eventually add hazelnut but seems amazing!

[@ofunnaturalbirth]

This looks excellent for Christmas time! Thank you!

[@defnotflow3277]

Thank you Chef John! My 9 year old daughter and our family loves your show! You have helped inspire her to start cooking! Wishes to meet you one day...lol..love ya!

[@BethyKable]

Your back ! Always happy to see your latest offerings...looks delicious !

[@Savetheworldfirebidennow]

Perfection as usual. Thank you

[@RinkiMukerjee]

The dessert idea is the best. Loved the video...chocolate and almonds are one of my fav flavour combinations.

[@DONJULIANOrtiz]

Made this for my girls at home, they loved it! Thanks Chef John!

[@kberken]

And I've always just added chocolate chips to mine but your recipe looks way better. I'm going to try this next time.

[@stonedhomer621]

Mmboy I cannot wait to try and make it for myself. Thank you Chef for the upload 🤗

[@tracyherwig8334]

Well, Chef John, you have once again proven that chocolate always leads to forking!😂

[@poppopp9893]

Well played young lady well played

[@tracyherwig8334]

pop popp 😃

[@happee25]

I just made this granola and it's really delicious! I might add some dried fruit or something sourish to cut through the smooth chocolate. It's very easy and comes together quickly! Baked mine for 45mins total and it's really crunchy.

[@ghegeler]

Thank you!

[@firstlast446]

Dutch processed is great and tastes so much better, though iirc the dutching process does get rid of most of what gives the chocolate health benefits.

[@DvLnDsGyZ]

This is perfect for the yogurt I'll be making tomorrow, thanks!

[@JessStokesPINKCUCKOOS]

Dream brekkie! Thank you Chef John 😊

[@ebenburger111]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[@Nishi-kg4nq]

Thanks for sharing this! Literally the best granola ever! I love granola and I use true elements dark chocolate granola for my breakfast. Its the best! You should also try them.

[@missmaryh6932]

Oh joy maple syrup. Once again thanks you are definitely something to look forwards to.

[@alkhuraimali0110]

You’re destructing my diet. Thanks chef 👨‍🍳

[@caitiedidit]

I made this yesterday. I made a half portion, and I used walnuts instead of almonds cause that’s what I had on hand. It was great, I served it over yogurt that I mixed with peanut butter for a peanut butter chocolate flavor.

[@missoliviajane1]

Chocolate for breakfast!! Yes I’m making this tonight instead of my regular granola 😎😎

[@yodaydyxz1752]

Chef John makes everything sounds like it’s easy to make. I’m gonna try this and we’ll s is how it works out

[@StillSwirling]

Yuuuuuuuuum! You just leveled up my granola game! Thanks ☺

[@hopinandbeliefin]

How appetizing! Glass!!

[@ephthisimgoinghome]

Shredded coconut would be so good in this 👍👍👍

[@abouttime837]

no.

[@TheKarebear666]

Or hazelnuts instead of the almonds

[@laurafordesvideos]

no Oh yes indeed!

[@TheDevilDarling]

no yes 🤩😍😍

[@AM-um1xr]

I made this it was so good. Going to have to double the recipe

[@charlottemalliet3193]

Done it and loviiing it

[@mstutorial6471]

Thanks U! Looking Nice. Chocolate makes granola tasty and delicious. I love true elements dark chocolate granola for my healthy breakfast.

[@TheHamadanners]

Looks amazing

[@April4YHWH]

To all those commenting (freaking out) about the sugar he dumps in the bowl after saying "no added sugar", please consider... He said: "In fact, we are probably making it MORE nutritious since we are gonna be getting all those well-documented health benefits of chocolate without having to add any ADDITIONAL sugar" I BELIEVE what he meant is that once the granola is made, you won't need to add any additional sweetener to it in order to make it taste appealing. Some sweetener is necessary to offset the bitterness of the chocolate when making it, but the amount is minimal.

[@April4YHWH]

Also, the sugar breakdown could be as follows. According to his blog, the recipe makes approximately 3.5 cups of granola. For the sake of discussion, let's say a serving size is 1/2 cup, which would give you 7 servings total. The total amount of sugar called for is 1/3 cup. There are 13.5 teaspoons in 1/3 cup divided by 7 total servings and you're left with about 2 teaspoons of sugar per serving. Even less for the maple syrup (1/4 cup for total recipe = 10.14 tsp divided by 7 servings = 1.45 tsp). Together, total sugar is approximately 3.44 tsp or a generous tbsp. I hope this is right cuz I'm high as fuck.

[@ppha7665]

Finally got around to making this. I will nvr buy chocolate granola again. This stuff is delicious!

[@laurafordesvideos]

Would certainly make a nice snack.😋

[@andreasbohler7978]

This has become an absolute staple of mine. Greetings from Germany

[@SheisB515]

Jay Hova?! 😂😂😂 Chef John you never cease to amaze me

[@neurocosm]

So cool! When you spread it on the pan, it looks like bumble bees!

[@user-nq6mf2gu7z]

I made it earlier this week and sent it to my sister .her husband can't get his hands off of it ! Thank you

[@JucheGang]

"without any extra sugar" *first ingredient is brown sugar* delicious looking recipe anyway! I've been making granola at home for about 3 years now and all my sweetness comes from dark amber maple syrup and dark chocolate

[@user-_-37470]

That’s right

[@ajlepik6272]

looks yummy! Maybe with some dried cherries.

[@CandyLove2322]

That looks so awesome!!

[@JMacsAmateurKitchen]

Thanks for posting another video! We missed you a chocolot... horrible I know

[@tracyherwig8334]

J-Mac's Amateur Kitchen NO, that was AWESOME! Chocolat! 😂

[@tracyherwig8334]

Rheinhardt Graf von Thiesenhausen tee hee...graBROla😂

[@n0etic_f0x]

How dare you! This man hates puns! How can you not know this lie is true =3.

[@charlinebosse1099]

Miam...have to try this one!

[@psychicchasms4208]

LUV U CHEF

[@neatkitten]

Yummy 😋

[@tyelrschits8174]

Question, how do you feel about toasted the nuts and oats before mixing or baking? Any thoughts on flavor or texture doing this method?

[@joew8211]

Light a candle, turn off all the lights. Midnight sharp, not a minute more or less, look into a mirror and say "Cayenne" three times. Chef John will appear and swear to make your foodwish. Next time. Maybe.

[@April4YHWH]

Boy, is he going to be pissed at being summoned in the middle of the night! Better make it a good wish! And have some cayenne on hand cuz in all likelihood, he won't grab his on the way. Also, it shall be revealed (pun intended) if he sleeps buff. 😃

[@FenrirBlue]

Chef John saved mothers day !!!

[@lordgarion514]

You should try this recipe again using coconut sugar. It has a glycemic index of 35, putting it in the low category, and meaning it doesn't spike your blood sugar level. Coconut sugar also helps stabilize your blood sugar and it contains quite a few different nutrients in small amounts (but any is better than none right?) It tastes a little like brown sugar with a hint of caramel. But to me it's just a touch milder flavored than brown sugar, so you could replace some of the white with extra coconut sugar without it overpowering the other flavors.

[@biendereviere]

Mmmmm dessert for breakfast 😋

[@jeyendeoso]

Chef i love your videos but in my country its very hard to get maple syrup, what would be a good substitute? Honey? I am really dying to make this one but the syrup is the only thing that is preventing me from doing it! Help!

[@Holbodden]

Strangely, this is one of my favorite recipes of yours. But, sadly, I probably should never make it since I'm not sure I could have much self-control with it. :-)

[@jdowdy14]

Chef john sounds the way he does because he always records 1 line at a time when dubbing over these videos and not continually reading. His inflection is the identical at the beginning and end of each single sentence.

[@basilrose]

just when I thought I couldn't love Chef John any more he goes and says he's a closet hippie ❤️

[@jtown2317]

J Hova of your chocolate granola might be my new favorite :D

[@tbucchan]

You're right cayenne on top of salt looks way cool

[@arnuilmees]

Do you have any recipes that come to mind for low-carb Chef? I'd love to see a video on one if you had any!

[@n0etic_f0x]

Weird addition Citrus peal. This is done after the step at 3:30 just zest it like you are making a cocktail. It is fantastic but it will make it taste a lot like whatever fruit you use so be warned.

[@darthdadt]

I’m a simple man, I see chocolate, I click.

[@Elaine_S]

You need to do a chicken fried steak video! I had to use another channels recipe and it was very disappointing! My husband asked why I didn't use a "Chef John" recipe for it.. And I had to tell him that there wasn't one! Stop and take a break.. So you have time to make chicken fried steak!!

[@MrDespelotao]

Any replacement for maple syrup? We dont have maple syrup where im from

[@Bellas61]

I made this with dates instead of sugar and maple syrup. And added egg whites for extra protein and crunch 😋

[@sleepyjay12]

Chef John, have you ever tried to make Xiao long bao ? (chinese soup dumplings). I would FLIP to see your take on them!

[@ingeborg-anne]

You made a chocolate granola that's healthier than non-chocolate granola?! *worships*

[@Nathraichean]

I think that the proportions on the blogspot are wrong. No one outside USA is using cups so i just used a mug and used the same proportions, yet it didn't come out the same at all. Also it was very, very sweet. Any advice as to what i might have done wrong?

[@arlynnoel]

Chef, what made those little dimples on the inside of your metal mixing bowl? It looks like something happened other than vigorous whisking.

[@noahculp9900]

I mean you are after all the Armin Zola, of your chocolate granola.

[@dallasmandy]

Noah Culp. Yaaaass!

[@jorgedominguez2256]

Noah Culp Arnim?

[@bagrym]

since this is a horrible horrible character. i totally support the choice of pop cultural reference

[@noahculp9900]

Qwerty uiop yes that’s what I meant haha.

[@thedude7722]

Lol awesome. I’ve been reading the Axis event comics lately..yours is the best comment on here! 😁

[@miemie6875]

would like to see a video about how to clean your silicon mat etc. Mine has burned spot on the top....

[@ergolineL]

Yes! I live for the rare vegan friendly chef john vids.

[@kubam9531]

I would also add some dried cherries and coconut shavings

[@peikkhontay364]

does the cayenne really work magic?

[@jamessteven281]

I really want Coco Pebbles now

[@repomandan07]

I'm intrigued on how you're mixing bowl ended up with deep indentations. There's a story behind that

[@greenrolaids]

how would you make love to a bowl.. my bowls are nearly unrecognizable as bowls. Chef John is merely an armature bowl lover.

[@tMalfunction]

that's a very good question and a very captivating story.

[@Northerngulf]

Keeping a grandchild busy with a mixing bowl and a spoon on the kitchen floor while you cook? That's what works in my house.

[@Arnkh]

The lowest temperature my oven is capable of is ~300 F., how should I adjust cooking time? Is it even possible?

[@April4YHWH]

Not sure if you can adjust the cooking time; that would be my second option (you would have to really watch and stir a lot). My first option would be to use someone else's oven. 🙂

[@CaptianObvious2000]

This has nothing to do with the video, but I am wondering whether you know of any good substitute(s) for lemon or other citrus fruits.

[@lynnanmocek1326]

Could you substitute honey for maple syrup? I am really allergic to maple!

[@chevyxo]

The Jehovah of my chocolate granola!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God. Amen.

[@hayleyelliott7905]

Hi I live in Europe. Are your oven temperatures different? Should I set my oven to around 120 c? Thanks.

[@TeriyakiTofu]

This is similar to my recipe but i add a little Walnut Oil to the base, and used japanese black sugar.

[@tabaks]

Chef John, your channel selection has tapered thin. I didn't believe I'll ever skip one of your recipes. I was wrong.

[@anthonyhunter8280]

sounds great

[@thedivineenergy]

*You are after all the Adam Carolla of Chef John's Chocolate Granola.😜*

[@axeavier]

I didn't even notice the profile picture. You're being negative

[@Elaine_S]

Love Adam Carolla!

[@FIREBRAND38]

We Have A Winner!

[@behringerm]

First in! Old fashioned rolled oats (fiber & complex carbohydrates), almonds (healthy oils and proteins), and chocolate (flavonoids). How can you go wrong? Vegan as well. Thanks Chef John!

[@oldarpanet]

Oops. Not so fast...isn't the edible part of the nut known as "meat?"

[@MrAranton]

Use honey instead of maple syrup and that problem is solved.

[@yunapark9179]

Can I sub coconut sugar?

[@mcomeslast]

Best use of oatmeal in a recipe, right there. Now, onto Braunschweiger, woohoo!

[@skip123davis]

any thoughts about using honey instead of brown sugar?

[@liimakino]

Chef J (great rapper name, btw) how long can we store these?

[@Mindofthequill]

I'd love to make that into bar form

[@angelmwdead]

So were I live, maple syrup is either too expensive or hard to find (we can only get that suspicious thing called pancake syrup). Is there anything I can do to substitute for the moisture? An egg or something?

[@guardiangarasu]

Does he still have the freakishly small wooden spoon? Haven't seen it for a while.
