This deliciously naughty chocolate granola doesn’t even need milk, it’s great to snack away on.
Feel free to substitute what nuts and seeds you have on hand, however, the buckwheat is non-negotiable – it lends a delicious nutty crunch to the granola.
3 cups of rolled oats (For this recipe we use a mix of spouted rolled oats (OATS01) and spelt flakes (SPEFLP))
1 cup of buckwheat (BUCWH)
1 ½ cups coconut flakes (COCCH)
1 cup of pecan pieces (PECP500)
1 cup of whole raw almonds (ALMN250)
½ cup of black and white chia seeds (CHIMIX)
½ tsp. fine grain sea salt (SALFLAP)
½ cup of sunflower seeds (SUNFLOWER500)
½ pumpkin seeds (PUMPKK)
¼ cup coconut sugar (SUGCOR)
1/3 cup maple syrup (MAPS250) – honey can be used instead
1/3 cup coconut oil (OILCOV)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (ESSPVE) We like to use Heilala
½ cup cocoa powder (COCPO)
Preheat your oven to 160C.
In a large bowl combine the oats, buckwheat, coconut flakes, chia seeds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt and coconut sugar. Roughly chop the almonds and add them to the mix.
Melt the coconut oil in your microwave for about 1 minute, or until liquid. Add the maple syrup, vanilla essence and cocoa powder and whisk to combine into a smooth syrup.
Pour this mixture over the oats and nuts and mix well with your hands so that each bit is covered with chocolatey goodness.
Spread the mixture out onto a large baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the granola at this point and place back in the oven for a further 10 minutes, until fragrant and toasted. This can take longer depending on how powerful your oven is. Please note it can be hard to tell whether or not the granola is cooked, because of the dark colour from the cocoa. A good way to test is to bite into an almond, which takes the longest to toast – it should taste nutty and be golden brown inside.
Once cool you can serve the granola with milk or yoghurt and it is even delicious just as a snack.
