Preheat oven to 300 F. Prepare a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a medium saucepan to medium heat. Add coconut oil, almond extract, cocoa powder, salt and maple syrup to the pot. Stir until coconut oil is melted and ingredients are thick and syrupy. To a large mixing bowl, add oats, chia and shredded coconut. Then pour the syrup mixture over them mixing to combine well. Transfer the granola mixture onto a prepared baking sheet into an even layer.
Bake 35 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let the granola sit on the baking sheet 1 hour to harden. Once cooled, add chocolate chips to the baking sheet and break up the granola with spatula.
Serve immediately or transfer to a mason jar or container to store.
