Cacao Granola

I’m so fussy when it comes to granola so I usually make it myself. This recipe hits the spot and doesn’t take too long to make. You should have all the ingredients in your kitchen cupboard!

Ingredients

1 cup oats
2 tbsp fine coconut
2 handfuls of nuts/seeds of your choice
1 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp avocado oil (sub melted coconut oil)
1 tbsp almond butter (any nut butter will do!)
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Method

Mix dry ingredients, minus chocolate, together in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients. Mix the two together, you may need to get in there with your hands to incorporate the ingredients well. Add chocolate chips and mix through.

Spread evenly across a lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, turning the granola with a spatula half way through cooking so it gets evenly roasted. Leave to cool then enjoy in your breakfasts or as a snack.
