Healthy chocolate granola

Are you up for a morning treat?

Chocolate is heavenly, especially when paired with granola. I used 70% dark chocolate simply because it’s less bitter to add more flavour and sweetness into the granola.

The recipe makes a perfect sweet and satisfying breakfast. The good thing about it is that it’s really simple and quick to make. You can add in any extras of your choice, like nuts or dried fruits.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and add the coconut oil and maple syrup to a saucepan and gently heat over medium heat until they have melted together.
Melt the dark chocolate in a glass bowl above a saucepan of boiling water (don’t let the water reach the bowl). Then pour the chocolate into the melted coconut oil and maple syrup mixture.
Add the oats to the saucepan mixture and combine together until well mixed.
Transfer to a baking tray and spread the mixture out evenly. Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven and leave it to cool down for about 20-30 minutes.
Transfer it in a jar or container and eat within 5 days.
