The cocoa and dried fruit granola is a delicious and crunchy idea for breakfast or a mid-day snack. I made the cocoa granola with puffed spelt and enriched it with hazelnuts, almonds, and chocolate chips. You can enjoy cocoa granola with milk or yogurt.

Steps
To make the cocoa granola, pour the puffed spelt into a large bowl, add the almonds (you can use almonds with or without skin) and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.
In a saucepan, pour the water, oil, and add the honey. Put it over low heat and let the honey melt, but do not let the mixture boil.
Pour the water and honey mixture over the cereals in the bowl. Also add the cocoa and stir with a spoon to combine the ingredients until you get a moist and homogeneous mixture.
Spread everything on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Level well with a spoon and place in a ventilated oven at 300°F for 30 minutes. Stir with a spoon every 10 minutes to get an evenly crunchy granola that is not soft underneath.
When the granola is ready, remove it from the oven, add the chocolate, and let it cool.
Stir with a spoon and pour the granola into an airtight glass jar (200 ml) and enjoy when needed. Enjoy!
