Skip to Recipe

Who doesn't love chocolate? And what better if you can start your mornings with a delicious chocolatey breakfast. This Chocolate Raspberry Granola will raise your spirits in the morning and will make you jump out of bed.

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know I am addicted to making my own granola, because nothing beats the taste of fresh homemade crunchy granola. Usually, I make a batch on the weekends and then I have something to look forward in the mornings all week long.
Made with rolled oats, shredded coconut , raw cacao powder, sliced almonds ,dark chocolate chunks and dried raspberries, this Chocolate Raspberry Granola is naturally sweetened and gluten-free.
The chunks of dark chocolate with the addition of tart, crunchy dried raspberries take this granola to the next level! Together they make a wonderous bite!

This recipe comes together so quickly! All you need is to combine the base ingredients together in a bowl, spread the oat mixture evenly onto a baking pan and bake in the oven until golden brown and toasted.

Grab some for a quick breakfast on a busy morning with milk, sprinkle it on yogurt for a crunchy chocolatey bite or eat it straight from the jar for a quick, scrumptious afternoon snack.

Notes
  • Make sure to add in the chocolate chunks and raspberries when the granola is completely cooled. This will ensure the chocolate does not melt and the frozen dried raspberries don’t gain the moisture.
  • If you don't find dried raspberries, feel free to add any other dried fruit of your choice. You could also add fresh raspberries to your granola before you eat it!
  • This granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at normal temperature-if it lasts that long.
