Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Granola

2012

Meet the latest craze in our family: homemade Nutella granola. We eat this for breakfast, lunch, snack, dessert, whenever we want a burst of absolute yumminess.

You get these nutty, chocolatey, crunchy bites every time you reach in for a handful or two. Plus, the oats, hazelnuts, and chocolate-hazelnut spread really give you a great energy boost to get you through the day.

You can pour milk over it for breakfast, add a crunch to your daily yogurt, serve it with ice cream, or grab it out of the jar by handfuls when no one is looking…

Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Granola

Makes about 4 cups

Ingredients:

1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella or JIF)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats
Pinch of salt
1 cup finely chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325° and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
In the bowl of your mixer, on low-medium speed, combine the melted butter, honey, chocolate hazelnut spread, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
On low speed, mix in the oats and salt until combined.
Using a spatula, spread the granola mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, then add the chopped hazelnuts and stir the granola.
Bake for 10 more minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and cool completely. Use your fingers to break up the granola if it’s too clumpy.
Serve with milk, yogurt, ice cream, or by itself, and enjoy!
