Baking tray of sourdough chocolate granola next to a bowl of yoghurt and two bowls of granola and yoghurt

150g stale sourdough
(crusts removed)
70g porridge oats
75g pecans
roughly chopped
100g runny honey
25ml vegetable oil
1 tbsp cocoa powder
80g dark chocolate
chopped into small chunks

Method

step 1
Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Tear the bread into small chunks and put in a large bowl, then add the oats and pecans.
step 2
Gently heat the honey and oil in a small pan over a low heat, stirring until combined, then stir in the cocoa and ¼ tsp of salt. Pour it over the bread mixture and use a silicone spatula to stir and coat. Transfer to a large, rimmed baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 30-35 mins, stirring occasionally to break up the mixture and form smaller clusters.
step 3
Once baked, leave to cool before stirring in the chocolate chunks. Best served with thick yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
