Earlier this year, I shared one of our family's favourite breakfast cereal recipes - this delicious 'Muesli Bar Muesli'. I'm back today to share another personal favourite, Chunky Cacao Granola.
It's seriously my favourite breakfast! Often when I make up a big batch I'll throw some into a jar to gift to a friend. Hence my sharing today - I've had quite a few requests for the recipe!
CHUNKY CACAO GRANOLA
Note, I use the below as loose guidelines when making up a batch - I adjust to what is in my pantry at the time and I kinda guess my measurements but it always works out beautifully!
Preheat oven to 180c (or 160c) fan forced.
In a large roasting pan, combine:
- 750g rolled oats
- 200g flaked coconut
- 200g raw buckwheat
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup pepitas
- 150g macadamias
- 150g hazelnuts
In a small saucepan, add:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla essense
3/4 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup rice malt syrup
gently warm and stir until combined.
Stir oil mix through granola a little at a time until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Put in the oven for 10 minutes. Toss and cook for a further 10 minutes. Toss again and cook for a further 5 - 10 minutes until evenly toasted.
Allow to cool and then store in an airtight container - or glass jar!
CARD AND GIFT TAG
I've decorated this card and tag with the sweet Bella & Friends puppy. The colour scheme was guided by the Naturally Eclectic patterned papers.
