Want to have a breakfast that tastes like dessert? Here is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Macadamia Granola for you! It has become of my favorite things that I could not stop eating recently.
Preheat the oven at 160 C / 320 F. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
Add the peanut butter and cacao butter to a mixing bowl. Melt them together over simmering water Once they've incorporated, remove the bowl from the heat.
Add in the ground chia and maple syrup. Mix to combine.
Add the rolled oats, buckwheat groats, cacao powder, salt, coconut flakes, chopped macadamia nuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir to mix all together.
Transfer the mixture to the lined baking sheet and spread it out into an even single layer.
Bake for 15 minutes first. Take out and give it a stir. Then continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes until it's mostly dry and your kitchen smell amazing.
Let it stay in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet onto a wire rack and let it cool down. Add in the chocolate chips when it's still a little bit warm so the chocolate can melt a little bit to cover some granola chunks. Or add the chocolate chips when it's completely cool.
Serve with oat milk or other plant milk of choice.
