White Chocolate Macadamia Granola

December 2, 2015 by Juli 14 Comments

When there is granola in the house I have absolutely no self-control.

I once made the hubby granola, filled it into two large jars and before he came home one was gone already. Damn it, that was supposed to be my secret! Hi honey, forget that, I was just making up a good story. Of course I made you ONE jar of granola. ONE jar, just for you!

Who am I kidding? He knows me and clearly doesn’t buy it! Nor should anyone trust me around granola! 

Okay now that the cat is out of the bag sort of, I can tell you the whole truth as well! Every time I entered the kitchen that day I found myself with my hand in the jar. It was so damn good!

So this year when I wanted to make Stefan a heathy (my demand) sweet and chocolatey (his demand) Advent Calendar granola seemed the best choice to fill it with.

Next to our staple granolas I wanted to make him something new and different. Something featuring one of my favorite nutbutters. Something salty and chocolatey. Something like my favorite combos of all times: White Chocolate and Macadamia! 

I am keen on the cookies and also very keen on this Drippy White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Butter which I put in best use in this delicious White Chocolate Macadamia Granola!

This granola is the perfect combination of dessert and breakfast. Breakfast for dessert – dessert for breakfast, who cares, I am not shy to want it all. It’s deliciously crunchy with a soft twist provided by the heavy use of white chocolate chips. It’s great on greek yoghurt (says the hubby), it’s perfect for snacking on every time you enter the kitchen (say I) but the ultimate flavor explosion happens when you pour over some macadamia nut milk and let the white chocolatey goodness melt into the milk.

White Chocolate Macadamia Granola

Author: Juli@1000lovelythings

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup White Chocolate Macadamia Nutbutter
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seed oil
  • 1/3 cup agave syrup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup salted macadamia nuts - roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F)
  • Give the macadamia nut butter in a bowl and microwave until melted
  • Add the oil, syrup, salt and vanilla extract and stir well using a fork
  • Add the oats and stir again until all the oats are well covered
  • Spread the oat mixture on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and place on the bottom rack of the oven
  • Bake for 30 minutes stirring through every 10 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and let cool
  • Once completely cooled stir in the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts

Notes

Make sure the granola doesn't get too dark in the baking process - you might stir in the edges more often depending on your oven
It's fine when the oats are not really crispy when they come out of the oven. They will get crispy when they cool
If you're not a fan of the sweet and salt combo ommit the salt, especially when you use salted nuts
The granola tastes best eaten with macadamia milk

So after filling my husband’s Advent Calendar with it (and also giving away some samples) I tweaked the recipe a bit (aka added more chocolate) and now in my humble eyes it’s perfect!

I didn’t exactly make a new batch because I was keen to post this recipe though. Actually that was ment to be a precaution. The Advent Calendar is in easy reach for me and I was dearly worried I could just accidently raid the damn thing and then make a beeline to the grocery store to stock it up again with store bought chocolate. Wife of the year? Clearly not! Greedy as fuck? Hell yes!

Luckily it works! So please excuse me now, writing got a bit difficult with only one hand while the other one is stuck in a jar 😉

And for the curious of you who clearly can’t sleep another night without knowing the other two granolas I made, it’s this Double Chocolate Coconut Granola and that Hazelnut Espresso Granola. Two of our favorites! 

What’s your favorite granola recipe? I get a bit gaga with ideas right now!

      Thank you so much Jen 😀 I have to admit that I am gobbling it down as if there was no tomorrow! No shame here though 😉

    If anybody pretends they could be trusted around granola in general or this one specifically: liars! I’m seriously tempted just looking at your pictures. You outdid yourself in the granola game. I might just need to make some to add to a few Christmas gifts. Tell me, though: where in the world [aka: Germany] did you find white chocolate chips???
    Also: is there any way I can convince you to make me an advent calendar next year??

      Most probably 🙂 And I do think it would make an excellent Christmas gift and maybe I am even going to whip up another batch for exactly that reason.
      And I didn’t find them in this world [aka: Germany] I bought them in NY!

    Macadamia nuts are the bomb – they are like no other nut and I imagine would pair with the White choc perfectly. They are the one thing that is actually cheaper here in Australia! Our farmers market has a stall selling hot freshly roasted one… Mmmmmm!

      Get you some of these awesome macadamia nuts and blend up the nut butter. It takes 5 min and it’s such a great combo! I am so gaga about macadamia nuts. I go as far as to say they are my favorite nuts 🙂

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways….this granola is definitely one. That white chocolate macadamia nut butter surely counts as another three.

    I am also now in the dog house because I didn’t share any of this granola or the white chocolate nut butter with the Hubby. In fact, he confiscated the jar of Oreo Cookie Butter for fear I’ll eat it all too.

    MAKE THIS PEOPLE! IT IS AMAZING!

      Hahaha I try picturing you having this conversation 😀
      I am seriously so stoked by the fact that you just spooned the whole glass in one sitting! Okay it wasn’t that big but still!
      And I can’t even find any words for how much I love YOU for all this 😀
