What's not to love about this Chocolate Granola?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since posting my Pumpkin Granola<\/a><\/span><\/strong> recipe,  I have been loving coming up with other variations, as these granola's really feel like a treat when I sprinkle over some yoghurt and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already shared the pumpkin granola<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and banana granola<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, but I thought I just could not avoid making a delicious Chocolate Granola and this really helps those chocolate cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even my kids have been loving these granolas with yoghurt or fruit. I give them some in a little tub in their lunch boxes and they sprinkle it on their yoghurt for a crunchy treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you make sure you use gluten free verified oats, then this recipe will also be gluten free,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use maple syrup to sweeten, I love the taste and because it is syrupy it works well with making the granola, you don't really want to use sugar or sweetener as it tends to burn and not taste very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you really flatten it out into a thin layer on the baking tray when putting in the oven to bake, and when you take it out half way through, you need to use a wooden spoon to break up any really large clumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you can store this Chocolate Granola in a lidded jar or similar. This recipe serves 3, so if you want it to serve more, I suggest doubling or even tripling up the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n
