This one is perfect for breakfast, with all those dried fruits and nuts, the star ingredient cocoa, makes your mornings bright. In just few easy steps, you can make this granola for a week and enjoy your breakfasts. Make your mornings easy. Just add milk, add on a fruit, it’s filling!

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook time: 25 mins | Makes: 2 & 1/2 cups
Ingredients
Rolled oats – 2 cups
Cocoa powder – 3 tbsp
Almonds – 1/4 cup
Chopped dates – 1/4 cup
Raisins – 1 tbsp
Brown sugar – 1 & 1/2 tsp
Honey 3 tbsp
Vanilla essence – 3 drops
Salt – A pinch
Oil – 2 tbsp
Cocoa powder – 3 tbsp
Almonds – 1/4 cup
Chopped dates – 1/4 cup
Raisins – 1 tbsp
Brown sugar – 1 & 1/2 tsp
Honey 3 tbsp
Vanilla essence – 3 drops
Salt – A pinch
Oil – 2 tbsp
Method
- Chop almonds and dates. Gather all the ingredients.
- Mix oil, cocoa powder, salt, sugar and honey in a pan. No need to heat. I heated for 10 sec, but I guess you can skip this step.
- Mix this chocolate sauce with oats, almonds, dates, Vanilla essence and raisins, in a mixing bowl.
- Pre heat oven at 150 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking sheet, spread this mixture and bake for 25- 28 minutes. After 15 minutes, give the oats a mix, then after that, every 5 minutes you should give a mix for even roasting.
- As it cools down, it will get crispier. Break the granola with hands and store in airtight container for 4-5 days.
Notes
- Use dried dates for best result not the fresh dates. You can skip the dates too.
Serve with chilled milk for breakfast. Taste great, no need to add sugar as it already has dried fruits and honey, sugar. Nuts add a great texture to the granola.
