Our favorite ways of serving this Chocolate Granola is with non-dairy milk, on top of coconut-yogurt, as a crunchy topping on oatmeal, or as a quick snack. It makes a perfect chocolate breakfast!!
We bet anyone can make this recipe. All you have to do is to mix together cacao, rolled oats, nuts, coconut oil, and maple syrup and spread on a baking sheet. Check the image bellow to see how the granola should look like before baking.
