A healthy homemade crunchy granola recipe for my virtual friends: chocolate orange granola with delicious tangerine juice!
Ok, I'll be honest: I'm beginning to think that I'm addicted to granola, healthy granola!
And when I say healthy I mean:
- nutritious
- with tons of hidden benefits
- tasty
- that satiate
This one has all the above mentioned benefits: it's nutritious (thank you buckwheat groats and oats), tasty (thanks chocolate and essential oils from orange!) and it's "in season" (oranges, tangerines...). What more could you ask for? Oh, crunchiness, I heard you say. Well, here's Miss crunchy granola, dear friend!
There's nothing like healthy homemade crunchy granola recipe...
Told you: I'm addicted to granola. And not only because I loooove eating it, but I love preparing it. What makes me lose my mind (in a positive way) is that most of the times, when still in the oven, it seems like it doesn't want to become crunchy. Then you take it out, let it cool and the magic happens.
Plus, I don't know if I'm lucky or what, but it seems I hit the nail on the head all the time: I always make the crunchiest granola! Can I be proud of myself?
...with some Vitamin C!
My all time favorite is OBVIOUSLY chocolatey granolas. It's unbelievable though that I've never shared the recipe here on the blog (except for the pumpkin choco granola I posted back in November). Shame on me!
Last month while planning January's recipes, I thought 'Ok, what if I add a wintery touch to this deliciousness? What if I create a healthy chocolate ORANGE granola and I also add tangerines' juice?'. Said and done!
Oh yeah that's another addiction of mine: I'm eating my weight in tangerines right now. When I don't know what to snack on, I pick one tangerine from the fruit bowl. Then I eat a second, a third, a fourth...
Hope you'll love my super crunchy granola recipe with chocolate and orange too!
