    Jump to Recipe Pin

    Chocolate for breakfast, yes, please! This easy homemade Chocolate Coconut Granola is a healthy treat.

    I have to make a confession. I created this granola as an excuse to eat more vegan chocolate.

    2020 has been my year of chocolate. I've made a bunch of desserts with chocolate including Vegan Black Bean Brownies, Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies, Vegan Chocolate Pudding, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge.

    Another chocolate recipe is my Vegan Chocolate recipe. Another granola recipe is my Triple Coconut Granola recipe.

    2020 has also been my year of Angela Roi vegan handbags, but that's another story.
