Chocolate-Coconut Granola Recipe

This was one of those 'throw together' recipes that turned out delicious. Its gluten-free and full of healthy fats, and I love it as a smoothie bowl topping for some extra crunch, or topped on a yoghurt and fruit parfait. Save this recipe to make it later!

Ingredients:

~ 1C buckwheat groats (raw) ~ 1C quinoa flakes ~ 1C hazelnuts, chopped ~ 3/4C desiccated coconut ~ 1/2C pepitas ~ 1/2C sunflower seeds ~ 1/4C melted coconut oil ~ 2 tbsp cacao powder ~ 2 tbsp maple syrup ~ 1 tbsp chia seeds ~ 1 tsp vanilla bean paste ~ Pinch of Himalayan salt

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 150C.

Mix ingredients together until well combined. Pour into a large baking dish and spread out evenly.

Bake in the oven for 10 mins, then remove and mix the ingredients around. Repeat this step another 2 times (so that the total baking time is 30mins).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool before transferring the granola to a large glass container for storing in the cupboard.

Enjoy!
