I am always looking for new breakfast recipes. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I have been eating banana ice cream for breakfast for a while now, made with quark and frozen banana, but chances are that I will be sick of that anytime soon and that’s why I already started to think about my new favourite breakfast. I have shared a basic recipe for granola with you before, but today I have a new granola variant for you: a chocolate granola.
I made chocolate granola by stirring cacao powder through the oat and nuts mixture. If you would like to add a bit more chocolate flavour, you can also add some dark chocolate chips, but this is optional.
What do you need (for 12 portions)
- 300 g oats
- 50 g mixed nuts (make sure that there are no nuts included that are not low FODMAP such as pistachio or cashews)
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: 50 g dark chocolate chips
How to prepare the chocolate granola
- Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
- Put the oats, the mixed nuts, the cacao powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil and stir this into the oat mixture together with the maple syrup and the water until you have a sticky mixture. If you think the mixture is not sticky enough you can add a bit extra maple syrup or coconout oil.
- Divide the mixture over a baking tray layered with baking parchment. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chocolate granola while baking because it can burn quickly. Stir the granola halfway through the baking time.
- When the granola has cooled down you can stir in the chocolate chips if using. Store the granola in a closed box.
Enjoy!
