OLIVE OIL, SEA SALT AND LIL' BITS OF CHOCOLATE GRANOLA
Before I became a mom, I never craved or even thought about chocolate at breakfast. But somehow, once a second kiddo came along, chocolate became my around-the-clock jam (these kids wear me out!). I'm still cautious about just how decadent I will let things get at breakfast-but this chocolate granola tows the line between responsible and decadent perfectly. The kids, Andras and I are hooked on this just-chocolatey-enough homemade granola, which is loaded with nutrients thanks to the oats, millet, nuts and seeds. And it's responsibly sweetened, too, using maple syrup and coconut sugar instead of loads of white sugar, and olive oil instead of butter. It's crunchy, satisfying and wonderful any time of the day. We keep it in jars on the counter for easy breakfast-it's excellent sprinkled over yogurt with fresh bananas, sliced pears, halved figs or saucy raspberry spoon jam (see below). It's also a great late-night snack eaten right out of the hand (it tastes like crumbled cookies!) or sprinkled over ice cream. Of course, it also makes an excellent gift, so we always make big batches so it's ready for any of the above.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, millet, pecans, cocoa powder and sesame seeds. In a small pot, combine the maple syrup, oil, sugar and sea salt and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour the syrup mixture into the large bowl with the oat mixture and stir to combine. Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the granola cool slightly, stirring and spreading it out on the baking sheet with a spatula to speed the cooling time and to allow the granola to form clumps. Sprinkle over the chocolate and chia seeds and stir (or scooch around on the baking sheet) to let the chocolate melt a little and the granola to continue forming some small clumps. Cool completely, until the chocolate is set and the granola is crunchy and at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Store in an air-tight container (such as a glass jar with tight-fitting lid) at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 5 weeks.
- Combine the berries, maple syrup and ginger in a small pot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the berries soften and weep, releasing their juices (if they are very dry, you may need to add a teaspoon of water). Cook until the berries are just soft and juicy, but not too runny, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your desired thickness. Remove the ginger and discard. Serve with yogurt and granola, or over warm porridge. Store any leftovers in a clean jar with a lid in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Makes 1 cup.
GRANOLA WITH DARK CHOCOLATE, OLIVE-OIL, AND MAPLE
The not-so-secret ingredient in this irresistible granola? Dark chocolate chunks which add a decadent note. Dried cherries, pecans, cashews, pepitas, and coconut flakes round out the deliciousness.

OLIVE OIL GRANOLA BARS
We used to buy a lot of packaged snacks but realized we could make more delicious snacks on our own. During our learning process, we decided to tackle granola bars first, because when they are made with the right ingredients, they have a hearty helping of protein, will keep you filled and are easy to transport.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, then lightly grease the paper with nonstick cooking spray. In a food processor, blend 1/3 cup of the oats until finely ground.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ground oats, remaining 1 2/3 cups oats, brown sugar, dried cherries, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, olive oil and maple syrup. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top starts to brown and the edges are golden. Let cool in pan completely, then remove and cut into 12 bars. Bars can stay in an airtight container for up to a week.
CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE GRANOLA
Don't be deceived by its indulgent, chocolaty flavor--this granola contains less sugar than most. Introducing cocoa into the mix not only makes it delicious, but it also makes it better for you! Possibly... The point is this really tastes great, with a pronounced chocolate flavor, and would make a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers and hippies alike.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.
