Orange & chocolate granola with wheat sprouts

Food & Recipes door thijs

I have an incredibly delicious recipe for you... Orange and chocolate granola with wheat sprouts! Perfect as a healthy breakfast option, but I have to admit, I often eat it as a snack too ;) The main reason why I love this recipe is because it is super healthy while it still satisfies my sweet tooth. It's just too good! But let's get down to business. I will explain how you make this heavenly granola!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of coconut flakes
  • 1 cup of oats
  • ½ cup of wheat sprouts (you can buy these at almost every supermarket)
  • 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup of pecans, roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • 4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ orange (grated zest and juice)
  • 1/3 cup of cacao nibs/dark chocolate chips

Let's get baking!

First preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. While it heats up, put all the dry ingredients in a bowl together. Take another bowl and mix the honey, melted coconut oil and the juice from the orange until it's a paste. Pour the paste over the dry ingredients, mixing everything together so that the whole mixture is covered with it.

Place the mixture onto baking paper on a baking tray and bake it for about 25 minutes. When the granola starts to brown a little and becomes firm, it's done. Take it out of the oven, allow it to cool a little and after you've tried this delicious chocolate and orange granola, store the remainders (no you should not eat everything at once) in an air-tight box. There you go, a healthy and tasty breakfast every morning! :)

Trust me, this recipe is super easy to make and incredibly delicious! I would love to see how yours turns out! Please tag your photos with #fitgirlcode so I can see your chocolate and orange granola :)
