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!
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 yogurt (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.
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 choppedInstructions
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 nutsNotes
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 omit the salt, especially when you use salted nuts
The granola tastes best eaten with macadamia milk
