How to Prepare Dark Chocolate Granola Loaf [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 360ºF and grease and line a loaf tin.
First make the bottom layer: Mix together the flour, almonds, cacao or cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
Whisk together the flaxseed and water in a small bowl or cup and leave for 5 minutes to thicken then mix in the maple syrup and milk.
Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix together to form a batter. Spread over into the loaf tin evenly then set aside.
Next add the soaked dates to a blender or food processor (I use my Ninja Kitchen) with the sweet potato, cacao/cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup and salt and whizz up until quite thick and smooth. Spread this over the base then sprinkle over the granola and chocolate chips in an even layer to cover.
Bake for 40 minutes (cover with tin foil halfway) until firm. Leave to cool completely in the tin then remove and slice up. Enjoy!
