We love granola around our house because it’s just so darn easy to make. You can pretty much throw whatever you have in your pantry in there and it’s sure to come out delicious.
This Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola is our new favorite at the moment. It’s perfect for the kids’ (and Dad’s) lunch boxes and snacks for a little sweet treat that’s still pretty healthy too. The chocolate in this granola comes from the cocoa powder baked in the oats and the chocolate chips added at the end. And because there’s cocoa powder baked in, when you eat it like a breakfast cereal, my favorite way, it turns your milk chocolatey too. Yum!

This granola gets protein not only from peanut butter, but also uncooked quinoa. The quinoa adds nutrition and an extra crunchy, nuttiness that I love. Even my daughter, who normally hates quinoa, likes it added to the granola. So, if you’re not a fan of quinoa, but want the nutritional benefits, you might just like it this way! I also added coconut flakes for texture and because I just like coconut especially with chocolate and peanut butter.

I know some of you prefer a lower fat option so for that, you can simply replace the natural peanut butter with an equal amount of a powdered peanut butter prepared according to the package instructions and add a pinch of salt. You’ll reduce the fat without sacrificing any of the peanut-y flavor.

There’s really no reason to buy over priced, often unhealthy pre-made packages at the store. Making your own granola is super simple and because you’re making it yourself, you control exactly what does and doesn’t go into it.
