This double chocolate granola is the perfect breakfast for when you’re craving something sweet but also healthy. It’s packed with fiber, healthy fats, plant-based protein, and probiotics. Enjoy it on its own, with milk, on top of your yogurt, or as a grab-and-go snack!

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Healthier granola – this granola is naturally vegan, refined sugar-free, and can be made gluten free by using gluten free certified rolled oats. It’s also healthier than store-bought granola.
  • Easy to make – just stir, mix, and bake. Seriously. Once you realize how easy it is to make homemade granola, you’ll never want to buy granola anymore.
  • Customizable – in this double chocolate granola recipe I share the combination I love most, but feel free to add or leave out any ingredients you like or don’t like.
  • Batch making – it’s perfect for batch making as it stores well for weeks in an airtight container on the countertop.

Top tips for double chocolate granola

  • Use rolled oats – rolled oats will provide the texture we are looking for. If you can’t find any rolled oats you can also use quick oats but the texture will not be the same. Use gluten free rolled oats if needed.
  • Press the granola onto the baking sheet – to get those crispy granola clusters. Press it together onto the baking sheet with your rubber spatula.
  • Check your granola halfway through – as most ovens are different, check your granola to avoid it from burning.

Want to get crunchy clustered granola?

Here are some very easy tips to get delicious granola clusters:

  1. Once you have spread the granola on your lined baking sheet, gently press the granola down with the back of your rubber spatula onto the baking sheet.
  2. Do not touch the granola once it’s in the oven. Stirring the granola halfway through will just prevent the clusters to form.
  3. Let the granola cool off completely before breaking it down. Once cooled, use your hands to break off the granola into clusters.

How to store double chocolate granola

Before storing the double chocolate granola make sure it is already cool. If stored when warm, your granola could soften and lose its crunchiness. This granola keeps for three to four weeks when stored in an air-tight container at room temperature.

I’m back!!! - after some months finishing my masters program, starting a new job, and moving twice… and finally I’m back!!! This makes me very happy! Cooking makes me feel very much at home and I had missed it.. a lot! So a big thank YOU for being here 🙆🏼‍♀️😁

As most of you know, black beans are one of my favourite foods. So it was just natural to make these black bean brownies. They are incredibly moist, soft, and fudgy and have become one of my favourites. I’ve tried them several times and I’ve finally found the perfect ingredient ratio. Don’t worry they don’t taste like black beans!

These are gluten free, low in sugar, and high in protein and fiber. Can’t wait for you to try them!
