5

Ingredients

* 3 cups (300 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
* 1/2 cup (10 g) millet puffs
* 1/2 cup (10 g) rice puffs
* 1/2 cup (75 g) pumpkin seeds
* 1/2 cup (65 g) slivered almonds
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
* 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
* 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
* 1/3 cup honey
* 1/3 cup water
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup (80 g) chopped dark chocolate (70 % or 64 % cocoa contents)

Preparation

Step 1

* Preheat the oven to 300 F and have a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper ready.
* In a small pot, combine the water, honey, sugar, butter (or use a vegetable oil if you prefer), salt and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and let cook until the sugar is dissolved.
* In a large bowl, combine the other ingredients minus the chopped dark chocolate. Stir in the liquid to the dry ingredients.
* Transfer the granola mixture to the baking sheet and cook for 45 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon a few times to make sure that the granola cooks evenly. Let cool completely.
* Transfer to a air-tight container and add the chocolate.
