Nutella granola

nutella granola 1This Nutella (aka hazelnut chocolate) granola is incredibly moreish. It is a healthy and adulterated version of Coco Pops! In a nutshell (oh it’s a pun!), the granola is:

Crunchy
Chocolatey
Not sickeningly sweet
Satisfying
Packed with protein
Dessert disguised as breakfast.

I have fond childhood memories eating nutella with a spoon out of individualised packets. Once I grew up and developed a brain and awareness of blood sugar levels, I realised that nutella isn’t actually a nutritious breakfast spread or snack. Shock horror!

nutella granola 2But this recipe allows you to enjoy the hazelnut chocolatey goodness for breakfast, as a snack, or even dinner without any sluggish feeling afterwards or the inevitable judgemental guilt of ‘did I just eat a whole jar of nutella with my fingers?!’

I made this nutella granola as part of a Christmas present to my boyfriend’s parents. It was definitely a winner! I wish I made 2 batches of this because it was too delicious. Luckily I wrote down the recipe so I, and maybe you, will be able munch on this soon!nutella granola 3
