Almond and Chocolate Granola
Ingredients
- 80g oats
- 40g flaked/sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 30ml melted coconut oil
- 40ml maple syrup
To serve for each portion
- 125g full-fat Greek yoghurt
- 15 blueberries (approx.)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160 °C / 140 °C Fan (325 °F) Gas 3.
Prepare a baking sheet by covering with baking parchment (or greaseproof paper).
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: oats, almonds, cacao powder and chia seeds and mix well.
In a jug combine the wet ingredients: oil and maple syrup and mix together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together until the oats are evenly coated.
Spread out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Halfway through baking, remove the mixture from the oven and give it a good stir, then press back on the baking sheet and continue to bake until golden brown on top (do not over bake as it will continue to cook while cooling in the tin).
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, crush up and store in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
Serve with a portion of Greek yoghurt and blueberries.
