Sweet white chocolate chips and tangy dried cranberries make every bite of this White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Granola Cereal an explosion of flavor.

I remember the first time I had a white chocolate chip cranberry cookie.

At first, I thought I wouldn’t like the flavor combo, but after one bite I was in love. I found myself craving them all the time. But of course, it would be irresponsible (not to mention pretty fattening) to eat cookies whenever a craving strikes. 

So naturally, I decided to figure out a way I could satisfy my cravings in a way that was healthy.   ← this granola

I think I might be obsessed with the idea of chocolate granola.

Or maybe I’m just obsessed with chocolate and I’d go to any lengths to make sure it shows up in my breakfast. Probably the latter. 

But who wouldn’t want chocolate for breakfast? Especially in the form of healthy, delicious granola that you can feel good about eating. A crazy person, that’s who! (But I’m sure even a crazy person would go for this double chocolate coconut granola.)

Packed with dark chocolate coffee flavor, this mocha hazelnut granola is soon to become a breakfast staple. It's crunchy, chocolaty, and super easy to make!

Granola is starting to become my favorite breakfast food.

I mean, I can practically whip it up in 5 minutes. Then it bakes for 45 minutes, whilst filling my house with the wonderful smells that granola produces, and then I have breakfast for 3-4 days. And I love those mornings where I can grab a double shot espresso out the fridge, pour milk over a bowl of granola, sit down at the table, and take in the morning.

I also like to start out my day with chocolate. Because chocolate = life, as we’ve already established. 

It was killing me to not mix in chocolate chips to the final product, but I didn’t want to overload it on the chocolate (it kills me to say that). Besides, it’s already mocha flavored.

*sigh*

I’m baaaack!

It’s been QUITE a while since I last shared a recipe, and I apologize for such a hiatus. But this girl needed a vacay. BIG TIME.

Now, you guys know I loooove granola. With a passion. It’s like cereal but 8,000x better. Seriously. But why should you love homemade granola, you ask? 

Well, for starters, since you’re making it at home, you can control the ingredients that go into. Meaning you can leave out all of the yucky preservatives, dyes, and artificial ingredients that do your body no good. It also means that you can change it up HOWEVER you’d like. Don’t like almonds? Leave ‘em out or swap them with another nut. Don’t have maple syrup? Sub in honey! 

And that’s just the icing on the cake, in a manner of speaking.
