Healthy Crunchy Chocolate Granola
This granola recipe is so yummy and easy to make. It only uses a couple of ingredients, which you can change or substitute for different items! You can add in different nuts or seeds but in this recipe I used almonds, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds. Another variation of this recipe is to add in different spices, (like pumpkin pie spice, chai spice, apple pie spice, ect.), which would taste amazing!
I found adding buckwheat groats adds the perfect amount of crunch! I love having granola in the fridge to top on my oatmeal breakfast bowls, with greek yogurt and fruit, or smoothie bowls!
Make sure you let the granola cool for at least 10-15 min because it will harden and become super crunchy!
