Recipe | Chocolate & hazelnut granola

Lottie Storey October 5, 2018

Homemade granola is so much better than shop-bought, especially when it’s a luxurious chocolate and hazelnut one. Once made and cooled, this will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.

Serves 6

100g salted butter
200ml honey
2 tbsp cocoa powder
250g porridge oats
200g hazelnuts, blanched and roughly chopped
200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

1 Preheat oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas 4. Melt the butter in a large pan with the honey and cocoa powder. Tip in the rest of the ingredients and mix well until everything is combined.

2 Tip the mixture onto a large baking tray, spread it out and press down lightly. Bake for 18 mins, then remove from the oven and leave to cool completely. When cool, break into chunks and store in an airtight container. Serve with yogurt and fruit.

Turn to page 38 of August's The Simple Things for more of our staple foods feature on hazelnuts from Lia Leendertz.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
