Cherry and Dark Chocolate Rawnola
One of our go-to breakfasts these days is rawnola. It's quick and easy to make, can keep easily if you make a big batch of it, it's delicious on it's own, or sprinkled on ice-cream, yoghurt.. the list goes on!
We decided to give the classic rawnola recipe (inspired by Loni Jane) a summer twist with some delicious juicy cherries and decadent dark chocolate.
We keep a jar of it in the fridge at the studio at all times!
Cherry and Dark Chocolate Rawnola
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 cup of rolled oats
1 cup of dessicated coconut
1 cup of pitted medjool dates (roughly 6/7)
Half a banana
1 teaspoon of vanilla paste/extract
1/2 cup of roughly chopped dark chocolate
1 cup of fresh pitted cherries cut in half
Method:
1. Place the oats, coconut, pitted dates, banana, vanilla and chocolate in a food processor.
2. Blend until it start to all stick together and the dates are in small pieces.
3. Transfer to a serving bowl, mix in the fresh cherries*
4. Serve in bowls with coconut yoghurt, or simply a splash of nut milk.
*If you would like to up the quantities and save some in a jar in the fridge (which is a MUST for afternoon snacking), don't mix in the fresh cherries until it's time to serve it.
