I have to make a confession. I created this granola as an excuse to eat more vegan chocolate.
And chocolaty it is. This homemade granola recipe has cacao powder baked into the rolled oats, then chocolate chips are added.
It also has three kinds of coconut to add a coconut flavor. It's an easy breakfast that can be made ahead of time.
Have it with some vegan chocolate milk for even more chocolaty goodness.
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.
Other granola flavors I've made are my Grain-Free Granola recipe and my Triple Coconut Granola recipe.
2020 has also been my year of Angela Roi vegan handbags, but that's another story.
