METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 170c. Mix together the dry ingredients (except the chopped nuts), before adding in all the wet ingredients (including the pre-melted chocolate).

Once well-combined spread the granola mixture evenly on to two baking sheets and place in the oven for about 20 minutes. Take out the granola, add the chopped nuts and give it a good stir, making sure it cooks evenly. Return to the oven and cook for a further 5-10 minutes.

Once the granola is out of the oven and has been cooled, add in the extra chopped dark chocolate and orange zest. Store in an airtight container.
