You Will Need (11 things)

  • 60 g Almonds
  • 60 g Pecans
  • 60 g Hazelnuts
  • 300 g Oats
  • 70 g Desiccated Coconut
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 50 g Light Soft Brown Sugar
  • 150 g vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp Date Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 60 g Dark Chocolate

Steps (5 steps, 65 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 140°C and line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.

  2. 2

    Place almonds into a mortar and break up into haves with a pestle. You can use a knife to chop them instead, or wrap them up in a tea towel and bash with a rolling pin. Repeat with the pecans (they are quite soft already so won’t need as much force). Hazelnuts are fine whole. Add the nuts to a large mixing bowl, then mix in the coconut, salt and sugar.

  3. 3

    Melt the vegan butter in a large saucepan over a low heat. Once melted, stir in the date syrup and vanilla. Add the granola mixture to the saucepan and stir until everything is evenly coated and sticky.

  4. 4

    Pour mixture onto lined baking tray, flattening out to the edges with a spatula. Bake in oven for 50 minutes.

  5. 5

    Take the tray out of the oven and sprinkle the chopped chocolate on top. Leave to cool completely. Break into bite-sized chunks and store in an airtight container.
