- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon, divided

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Combine chickpeas with 1 tablespoon coconut oil and ½ tablespoon cinnamon and mix well
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add coated chickpeas
- Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes (don't over cook because we are baking again with granola!)
- Let the chickpeas cool a bit then begin making granola

- In a small saucepan, add coconut oil and almond butter. Warm over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to combine
- Remove from heat and stir in cacao powder
- Immediately pour over the dry ingredients and stir to combine until everything is fully covered
- Arrange on a large baking sheet and spread into an even layer
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and then turn the pan to bake more (try to not shake the pan so it stays chunky!)
