In a mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, salt, cayenne, and cocoa powder until fully combined. Add the oats and almonds, then fold and press everything together with a spatula until evenly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a silicone-lined baking sheet.

Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Use a fork to toss the granola and break apart any large clusters for a finer texture. Continue baking until the desired crunchiness is achieved, anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes longer. To test doneness, drop a few pieces onto a plate — a clink means it's ready. Switch off the oven and let the granola rest inside until it cools completely to room temperature.
