Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, and ground coffee. Stir to mix it all up. Set aside.
In a medium size bowl, melt the coconut oil and mix with the honey; stir until combined. Add the cocoa powder and mix until the mixture is wet and smooth. Add salt. Pour over oat mixture and stir until each oat is coated.
Spread over prepared baking pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir to make sure no small oat pieces are burning. Bake for 10 more minutes and remove from oven. While oats are warm, top with the chocolate covered espresso beans (or chocolate chips) and mix everything around as the chocolate melts to create large clusters. Pour in an airtight container and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 20 minutes. Store granola at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
