This is so indulgent and will definitely fix your chocolate cravings whilst still being nutritious and healthy! Granola is such a great thing to have in stock, not only great for breakfast, but a perfect snack and topping for yogurts, ice cream, fruit compotes and so on. I like my chocolate flavoured baked treats to taste slightly bitter and dark but if you have a sweet tooth, definitely add a little more honey. If you want to make this fruity and sweeter, fold in some dried raisins or cranberries once cooled and cooked. 3 more days till the end of exams, yay!
SPICED COCOA GRANOLA
- 200 g oats
- 100 g broken nuts- I used walnuts and almonds
- 40 g desicated coconut- or oats
- 0.5 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp honey- or more
- 3 tbsp coconut oil- or olive oil
- 3 heaped tbsp cocoa powder ( not drinking chocolate)
- About 80 ml water
- 1 tbsp vanilla: optional
1. Combine the oats, coconut, nuts, cocoa and spices together until well mixed.
2. Mix in the oil, honey and egg until roughly incorporated. Slowly pour in the water until the mix is just moistened.
3. Pour the mix onto a baking tray, compress and flatten (to create crunchy clusters). Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, mixing it all up after 10 minutes to ensure an even bake.
Note: this can burn really easily so keep an eye on it. Remove when granola is lightly browned. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container.
Here are a few healthy and fun ideas to decorate cakes that I've tried recently. Definitely worth trying :)
