Chocolate granola. Yep. I mean who doesn’t want chocolate for breakfast??
With just 5 pantry ingredients and less than 15 minutes, what better way to start your day than a fresh batch of home-baked chocolate granola…
And what 2 ingredients does everyone have in their pantry right now??
Oats and peanut butter; two of the best foods on the planet, without a doubt. So of course we had to come up with a new delicious recipe for quarantine / self-isolation / social distancing world (or whatever this madness is) featuring these pantry heroes!
The result? Sweet, salty, nutty, chocolate granola goodness, which tastes like crunchy oat clusters covered in actual chocolate.
Except there is no dairy, refined sugar or oil involved!
I mean if this doesn’t scream dessert for breakfast and the most addictive healthy snack treat I don’t know what does.
Let’s just say that these clusters of happiness are definitely going to be what gets me through self-isolation. Once you’ve made them once you’ll totally understand…
