salt dough ornaments made by Sylvia from Johanna's great recipe |
I do love this recipe, though. It's very easy and crunchy but not too hard, just the way I like it. A totally legitimate way to work chocolate into your breakfast!
Chocolate Granola (adapted from Chocolate Cherry Almond Granola by Live.Learn.Love.Eat)
4 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup cocoa
pinch of salt
dash of vanilla
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup sunflower oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup sultanas
Preheat oven to 350C.
Combine all dry ingredients except the sultanas. Stir in wet ingredients.
Spread out on a tray and bake for 10 mins, stir it around a bit, and bake for a further 10-15 minutes.
Add the sultanas.
Now, onto the top 5 posts for 2014...
I always love seeing everyone's most popular posts from the year! Here are mine:

Well I am a big fan of your spaghetti pie - loved it - and I have enjoyed reading your blog this year - always lots of great ideas for healthy and delish food. Will be bookmarking the chocolate granola
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Johanna, I'm glad you like the crazy spaghetti pie :) I have loved reading your blog too, you are a constant source of food inspiration for me!
DeleteHappy new year :) I think all of these 'top 5' posts deserve to be here - I've enjoyed reading all of them and still want to make your raw caramel slice without adaptations (having made a varied version using ingredients I had to hand)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kari! I've loved reading your blog this year :)
