Choc Coco-Nutty Granola
This is one of our most popular recipes and is a non-negotiable staple in our households. We eat this for breakfast, snack time, afternoon tea, after dinner or any time that we have a hankering for something a little sweet... this is a sweet treat that you can enjoy knowing that these ingredients are doing you good, while tasting ah-mazing! Come on...you know you want to ;-) If you want to make this a proper high protein breakie, serve with Greek Yogurt and some protein powder.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups coconut chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups mixed nuts and seeds, chopped (use your favourite combo - ours is pecan, almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds!)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp rice malt syrup
- 3-4 tbsp cacao powder (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients well and spread evenly onto a baking tray.
- Continue to stir regularly during cooking time.
- Bake for 10-15 mins in a low oven (140 degrees) until golden. Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly (trust us on this one!).
- Allow to cool. Once cooled, you can add any extras that you like - we love goji berries and cacao nibs... but the world is your oyster here!
Notes
Store in the fridge and serve 2-3 tbsp at a time, as a topper to natural yoghurt or munch on its own! For a complete breakfast, add a green smoothie and you have covered off all your nutritional bases - enjoy! xx
