In a small pan add the coconut oil and the maple syrup, heat gently until the coconut oil is melted. Then stir in the vanilla extract and almond butter once combined add the cacao powder and stir into a smooth chocolate paste. Remove for heat and set to one side.

Once baked, leave to cool and crisp on the tray. Then stir in the toasted coconut chips and the chopped un-sulphured apricots.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for 3 to 4 weeks (you will eat it before then).
To serve. There are many ways to enjoy granola, you might find us eating it straight from the jar as a snack, sprinkling it over bowls of porridge or smoothie bowls, but often the best way is in a bowl with berries, your choice of milk or yoghurt and a few chocolate chunks.
