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

1. Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
2. 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. 
3. 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.
4. When the granola has cooled down you can stir in the chocolate chips if using. Store the granola in a closed box.

Enjoy!
