The cocoa and nut 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 pieces. You can enjoy cocoa granola in 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 roughly chopped hazelnuts.
In a saucepan, pour the water, add the oil, and honey. Put on low heat and let the honey melt, the mixture should not boil.
Pour the honey-water mixture over the cereals in the bowl. Also, add cocoa and mix with a spoon to combine the ingredients until you get a moist and homogeneous mixture.
Spread everything on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Level well with a spoon and place in a fan oven at 300°F for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes with a spoon to get an evenly crunchy granola and 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 and consume as needed. Enjoy!
