Nutella Granola
I was making granola yesterday morning, and rummaging through the cupboards for nuts and seeds came across an almost empty jar of Nutella. Hmmm. Nutella has hazelnuts, right? And chocolate granola is pretty delicious. What a perfect combo! And it truly is.
I’m a fan of granola for snacking – we typically have a jar of it on the countertop to dip into mornings and afternoons. This chocolatey Nutella granola is great to eat out of hand – but is completely fantastic atop plain or vanilla yogurt, too.
I made mine by tossing hot, just-made granola with Nutella and then popping it back in the oven for a bit – next time I’ll try mixing it right into the honey mixture.
Nutella Granola
5 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups nuts and seeds (sliced or slivered almonds, chopped pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, sesame or sunflower seeds or a combination)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Nutella (or to taste)
1/2 – 1 cup raisins, cranberries, chopped dried apricots or a combination of dried fruitSet racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 300°F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts and seeds. In a small bowl, stir together the honey and maple syrup. Pour over the oat mixture and stir well.
Spread the mixture evenly onto two rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until pale golden. Remove from the oven and carefully add the Nutella; stir until well coated, then spread back into a single layer. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until slightly darkened and drier-looking.
Remove from the oven and stir in the raisins or dried fruit. Let cool completely.
Store in zip-lock bags or airtight containers. Makes 8-10 cups.
