What’s in Chocolate Granola?

BASE: Good granola starts with a base like oats, coconut, seeds, and nuts like pecans or almonds. Then it needs a binder that holds everything together like honey or peanut butter.

CHOCOLATE: Dark chocolate chips make this taste indulgent, while Cacao Bliss is added to the mixture for a chocolatey flavor throughout and an extra dose of powerful nutrients and antioxidants.

ADD-INS: Nuts, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds add flavor and texture. Use any kind of nuts or seeds that you have on hand.

VARIATIONS: Almost anything can be added to chocolate granola as long as it sticks together! Chopped dried fruit, other nuts, white chocolate chips, sunflower, pumpkin, or hemp seeds.
