Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola
This Chocolate Peanut Granola combines two of the best flavors in the world that can be eaten by itself, in yogurt, or even add it trail mix!
You may already know that Michael and I have been eating yogurt bowls at night after dinner since we were in college! We are leveling up by adding this chocolate peanut granola, and it’s absolutely delicious!
But that’s not the only way to enjoy granola! When I am a little lazy I just eat it as a snack and I am planning on making a yummy trail mix with it too! The chia seeds add fiber along with the peanut butter being our source of protein!
Of course, you know I love anything that involves chocolate and peanut butter, so no surprise here guys! If you are like me, you will LOVE my other peanut butter chocolate recipes!

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola
Preheat your oven and prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In one bowl combine the oats, cereal, salt, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Combine the remaining ingredients in another bowl except for the chocolate chips.
Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix well.
After it’s mixed together well, pour onto a baking sheet and press until it’s in a flat layer.
Bake until it’s golden brown. Once the granola has cooled completely, toss in the chocolate chips and you are ready to serve!
