CHOCOLATE BREAKFAST PERFECTION!
Who doesnโt love granola?
My kids love granola, not just eating it, but making it too! We love getting in the kitchen and experimenting with different flavors and textures.
hands down, chocolate is one of their favoritesโฆ mine too!
This recipe is simple and versatile. We made it nut-free because we were sharing it with a friend who has a nut allergy. I also love this made with almonds, pecans, and coconut! No matter what you choose as your base for this recipe you wonโt be disappointed. If you donโt have molasses just omit and increase the honey or maple syrup. (I know molasses isnโt a common ingredient for most!
