Hey everyone, it is Drew, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, chocolate granola. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Chocolate Granola is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions daily. Chocolate Granola is something which I have loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.
If you want a stickier granola, that will more easily clump together, you can up the brown sugar and maple syrup a bit, as I used the bare minimum in this recipe, but I think it's plenty sweet enough, especially if you're a fan of dark chocolate. Tossing chocolate covered raisins, almonds, and cranberries with the warm granola transforms the humble oat mixture into decadent clusters. The almonds make it a little sophisticated, but we wouldn't complain about a handful of chocolate-covered peanuts thrown in the mix.
To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have chocolate granola using 7 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Granola:
- Get 90 g oats
- Take 90 g mixed, unsalted nuts, chopped
- Take 40 g cacao nibs
- Make ready 20 g cocoa powder
- Make ready 2 tbsp honey
- Make ready 2 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- Get Pinch salt
In a medium pot set over low heat, combine the oil with the butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, cocoa powder and salt. In a large bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, cereal and cornmeal. This chocolate granola is inspired by one I tried recently by Purely Elizabeth. I demolished the whole bag in a matter of days and knew I wanted to create a version for the blog.
Instructions to make Chocolate Granola:
- Pre-heat the oven to 175°C. - - Mix together the oats, chopped nuts, salt, cacao nibs and cacao powder in a large mixing bowl. Add the honey and coconut oil to the bowl and stir well to coat all of the dry ingredients into the wet.
- Spread the granola on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the granola towards the end to make sure it doesn’t burn – you want the oats to be nicely toasted.
A simple mix of chocolate chips and chocolate covered raisins is added to the granola after it bakes - to avoid burning any chocolate. While the granola is still warm, add in the chocolate chips and give them a nice stir. The warm granola will melt the chocoalte chips creating large sticky chocolate clusters. On to round number two… I took my favorite crunchy granola recipe, stripped away all of the nuts and dried fruit, and simply added two cups of chocolate chips. This turned out a much better result, seeing as how chocolate chips generally hold their shape when baked, and will remain firm enough when cooled down to be handled.
