Chocolate Amaretto Spiced Granola

• Dry Ingredients
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1/4 cup Oat bran
• 1/4 cup Almonds, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped (extra)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon (heaping) Good quality cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Five spice or, even better, Cinq Epices
• A good grating of Tonka bean, if you can get a hold of it
• a pinches of Salt
• Wet ingredients
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup or Agave syrup
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1-2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Almond flavoring (more or less, depending on how strong it is)

1. Preheat the oven to 320 F? (160 C?). If you can turn on the fan setting, even better (it will be quicker).
2. Mix together all the dry ingredient in a bowl. Mix together the liquid ingredients, as well. I find that slightly heating the water and stirring the syrup in helps.
3. Mix everything together. As for the almond essence, You have to really, really smell it. You'll have to smell it to the point that it'll seem like you've added too much. It will evaporate in the oven, and leave a nice, subtle amaretto flavor sticking to your granola. If you're not happy with the amount of spice, add a little more to taste.
4. Line a tray with baking paper and spread the mixture evenly. If you like clumpy granola, pinch pieces together with your hands to create the clumps. Bake for about 10 minutes, then toss the granola with a spoon and turn the tray around. Bake for a further 8-10 minutes, until golden and completely dry. Be careful to not let it burn! If after this time it doesn't look ready to you, leave it in the turned off-oven for a few minutes, but keep a close eye on it!
5. Let it cool completely before adding extras, like dark chocolate nibs. Add to your smoothie bowl, yogurt, milk, ice cream, breakfast bowl, and then tuck the jar where you can't see it to avoid finishing it in one sitting.
