Chocolate Covered Homemade Granola

This easy homemade granola is prepared using rolled oats, nuts, seeds and chocolate. It is almost like a mixture of trail mix + rolled oats. Super easy to prepare and can be customized according to our likings. If you are here for homemade granola recipe then you will definitely love this crunchy chocolate covered granola.

We have always bought granola from our local grocery store. The downside of store brought granola is that it is loaded with refined sugar. Also, it is much more sweeter than what we prefer eating. Therefore, (& finally :P) I decided to try it out at home. I never thought that making granola is so easy until I gave it a try in our kitchen. You just have to be careful about time and temperature of the oven. And, the result will be be perfectly crispy and a easy homemade granola that can be enjoyed in morning breakfasts.

Once ready, this granola can be used in making different recipes such as granola parfait, granola bars, smoothies etc. Or, it can also be enjoyed as a breakfast cereal with milk in the old fashioned way. I love all the flavors in this version of granola… it is

• nutty
• chocolaty
• crunchy
• crispy
• toasty
• nutritious
