Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup and cocoa powder. Allow the ingredients to warm through until the coconut oil is liquid. Whisk well to combine.
While the oil is melting, in a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients, from the rolled oats to the sea salt.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture overtop of the oat and nut mixture and stir well until all the oats, nuts and seeds have been well coated in the chocolate sauce.
Pour the granola onto your lined baking sheet and use a spatula to press it down into an even layer.
Bake the granola for 10 minutes at the top of your oven. Then, without stirring, move the baking sheet to the bottom half of your oven to bake for another 8-12 minutes. Watch it carefully towards the end to make sure it doesn't burn!
Allow the granola to cool
completely
on the sheet pan before breaking it into clusters, adding in your mix-ins, and storing it in an airtight container.

If you're gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
The key to clustery granola is to not stir it while baking and allow it to cool completely before breaking it into clusters. As it cools, it will harden together into wonderful clusters!
