Homemade Nutella Granola
A nutty, chocolatey-hazelnut oat mixture clumped together to form granola which takes less than 20 minutes to make. Almost too good to be healthy.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup golden syrup or honey, or maple syrup
- ¼ - ⅓ cup Nutella or any hazelnut spread you fancy- you can also use peanut butter if you don’t like Nutella
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not the instant kind!)
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds optional
- ⅓ cup flaked almonds optional
- ¾ cup roughly chopped hazelnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F or 180 C and line a 12×17 inch rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the oil and golden syrup until the mixture thins out slightly.
- Stir in the Nutella- quickly to prevent it from ceasing up.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the oats and all the nuts.
- Spread the mixture in a even layer approximately 1/2 an inch thick onto the baking tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and stir to prevent the oats from hardening into one layer- but if you want granola bark instead of clusters, do not stir it and let it harden before breaking into pieces- I often do this if I want a snack on the go or just want to munch on some granola.
- Cool the mixture completely before serving.
- Serve with milk and fresh fruits or with greek yogurt (or plain/vanilla) and fruits- my favorite combo is strawberries, greek yogurt and this very granola.
Notes
You can replace and add which ever nuts with ones you fancy- e.g. peanuts or cashews.
