chocolate pistachio granola

Chocolate Pistachio Granola

This granola combines pistachios, pistachio butter, organic cacao, cacao nibs, a myriad of healthy seeds and coconut flakes to create a crunchy, chocolatey, breakfast or snack. Naturally sweetened with agave syrup and packed with protein, fibre and healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil. This granola not only packs flavour but it is one crunchy nutrient-dense experience. 

Watch the oven closely or set a timer to avoid an over roasted experience like I had  with my first batch.

  • Serves 10 cups

  • Total 00h35m (incl Prep 00h15m + Cook 00H20m)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups gluten free oats
  • 1 cup raw pistachios roughly chopped
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ cup pumpkin and sunflower seed mix
  • ½ cup cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup cacao nibs
  • ¼ cup ground flax
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup pistachio butter
  • ½ cup agave syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla or half a vanilla pod, seeds scraped
  • Optional: ½ cup freeze-dry raspberries

    Preheat oven to 165°C. Add dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add wet ingredients to a small pot, heat on the stovetop stirring until well combined.

    Pour wet over dry ingredients and mix until no dry bits remain.

    Spread evenly onto 2 baking sheets. Use a rubber or wooden spatula to press firmly on the baking sheet.

    Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Turn pans 180 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes. The granola should be dry and golden. Be careful not to let it burn.

    Wait for the granola to cool completely before removing it from the cookie sheet. Add freeze dry raspberries if using. 

    Store your granola in an airtight jar.

    A note on pistachio butter: When choosing or making your own look for 100% pistachios and salt and nothing else.  That translates directly into the yummy flavour as well as in the nutrition panel.
