Mocha Granola - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups rolled oats
    1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
    1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)
    1/4 cup cocoa nibs
    3 tablespoons maple syrup
    2 tablespoons fresh ground coffee beans
    2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
    1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
    2 teaspoons coffee-flavored extract
    1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Mix oats, coconut oil, hazelnuts, cocoa nibs, maple syrup, ground coffee beans, brown sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, coffee-flavored extract, kosher salt, cinnamon, black pepper, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; spread onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing with a spatula.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; stir and continue cooking until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, about 10 minutes more. Cool granola completely.
    Mix chocolate chips into cooled granola and store in an air-tight container.
