Everyone has a chocolate bar and a bag of granola at home—if they don’t, they’re lying to themselves. The best thing is that you can use these ingredients to make a sweet and delicious pie. The combination of creamy chocolate and crunchy granola is to die for! Here’s what you need and how to easily create a tasty dessert.
Easy & Healthy Granola Chocolate Pie
Before we proceed with the recipe, some tips. When it comes to granola, you can use any kind or even make it at home. Use different nuts, grains, and dried fruit in the oat mixture. You can also add coconut for extra sweetness. When your pie is ready, serve it warm or at room temperature. Finish everything off with a scoop of ice cream on top. Any kind will do, but the colder the better.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granola
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 4 ounces (70% cacao) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
How to Make It
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place the crust on an ungreased pie plate and press the dough into the bottom and sides. Don’t forget to fold any excess dough under the edges.
- Cover with parchment paper and top with pie weights that will keep the crust from puffing up or shrinking away. Bake for 12-14 minutes and let cool after removing the weights and paper.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Combine the brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, vanilla, vinegar, and salt, and whisk until you get a smooth texture. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time. Then, add the granola, coconut, and chocolate and stir.
- Pour the pie filling onto the crust and bake until it evenly browns and puffs on top. It should take about 55 minutes and be slightly firm to the touch.
- Let it cool completely and serve. Any leftovers can be put in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (4 if you’re an adrenaline junkie).
