brownie cluster granola

 

i'm a huge sucker for the fruit + yogurt + granola combo...and if chocolate is involved, count me in! 🙋

i just ran out of my trader joe's pecan praline granola and decided to just make my own, and i may be biased but i definitely prefer this one. he he. i'm always snacking on chocolate throughout the day, so combining the two just felt right. 

ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

instructions

1. preheat oven to 350F.
2. in a medium-large bowl, add the dry ingredients, then wet, and thoroughly combine.
3. line baking sheet with parchment and spread evenly (it will fit perfectly onto one sheet).
4. bake for 20 minutes, cool, and break apart.

i've eaten this everyday for breakfast since i've made a new batch. at least this obsession doesn't hurt anybody, right?
