A super healthy nutritious breakfast or snack that tastes like dessert. Win!
Preheat the oven to 180ºc fan/200ºc/400ºf.
In a large bowl combine the nuts, oats and seeds.
In a sauce pan, combine the honey, coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla, sea salt, cinnamon and the juice of one orange. Heat on low until the coconut oil has melted and the cocoa powder has just dissolved.
Pour the heated mixture into the bowl with the oats, nuts and seeds and stir until all the contents is evenly coated.
Gently spread the granola mixture onto a lined baking tray being careful not to break up too many of the clumps (These are the best bits!). Bake for 12 minutes.
Once the granola has baked for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, add the orange zest, stir and return to the oven for an extra 6-8 minutes until the granola has slightly darkened round the edges.
Wait until the granola is completely cool before storing / tucking in!
This can be stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
This recipe makes enough for about 4 breakfast servings, but can easily be doubled, tripled or even quadrupled to your hearts content.
As this is such a dark coloured granola it is hard to tell when it has turned 'golden' so just be extra careful towards the end of the cooking time that it isn't catching around the edges.
