Have you ever been in need of a good quick fix of chocolatey goodness but still want it to be a bit healthy? Well then, this delicious and decadent chocolate granola is just for you!!!
I went to the store the other day with my grandma and saw rolled oats and some coconut flakes and “granola” immediately came to my mind. I thought about what I had and what I could use to make what I wanted.
INGREDIENTS
- 2-3 Cups of rolled oats
- 1/2 Cup of quinoa (yes, you can bake raw quinoa)
- 1/3 Cup of coconut flakes
- 1/4 Cup of roughly chopped peanuts
- 2 Tbsp of chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
- Baobab powder (optional)
- 2 Tbsp of honey
- 1Tbsp of cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp nutella 😋 (optional but highly recommended)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f.
Combine all dry ingredients into a large bowl .
Coat the baking pans in coconut oil so the mix won’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Pour the dry granola mix on the baking pan and spread out, making an even layer. 
Put in the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the honey, cocoa powder and Nutella😋 in a bowl. I put the bowl in the microwave for about 20 seconds to melt it a little bit so it’s easier to incorporate.
Bring out the granola from the oven after 10 minutes and mix in the coating.
Put on the baking sheet again for an extra 5 minutes to crisp it up.
Finally, bring the granola out to cool before putting them in containers. They would be a bit chewy when they’re hot. But they become a lot crunchier when they’ve cooled down.
