cacao hazelnut cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) whole raw hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup (50g) whole raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup (25g) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp maple syrup/honey
  • dark chocolate, melted (optional)
  • desiccated coconut (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Grind the hazelnuts and almonds in a food processor until they are coarse and release just a little bit of oil. Be careful not to process for too long or you’ll have hazelnut butter!
  3. Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse a few times until well combined. It should be like a fine flour. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
  4. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla and syrup to the bowl and stir the mixture.
  5. Form the dough into balls (about golf sized balls) and flatten somewhat. They don’t expand much.
  6. Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
  7. When cool, top with melted dark chocolate and dessicated coconut if preferred.

Enjoy,

Ingredients

  • 2tbsp rapeseed oil/coconut oil
  • 150ml agave syrup/honey/maple syrup (or a mixture of all)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300g rolled oats
  • sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, linseeds, sesame seeds – I never really weigh out the seeds, I just throw in however much I feel like!
  • 100g flaked almonds
  • 100g raspberries, strawberries, blackberries
  • 50g dessicated coconut
  • dark chocolate to drizzle on top

Method

  1. Heat oven to 150°C.
  2. Mix the oil, syrup and vanilla in a large bowl. Tip in all the remaining ingredients, except for the berries and coconut, and mix well.
  3. Tip the granola onto a baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, then mix in the coconut and fruit, and bake for another 10-15 minutes ~ once the granola starts to go golden brown and the berries go soft.
  4. Remove and let it cool.
  5. Once the granola is cool, melt some dark chocolate and drizzle it on top.
  • Serve with cold milk or yoghurt.
  • The granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.

I love my granola because it’s so yummy in my tummy and so easy to make 🙂

Enjoy 🙂
