Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola Clusters

I all the time have a jar of selfmade granola within the pantry. I like almond butter granola, chocolate granola, lemon blueberry granola, and peanut butter granola.

Everyone knows that the granola clusters are the perfect a part of granola so I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola Clusters and they’re DELICIOUS….virtually too good, ha!

I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, so you recognize I’m very right into a granola that tastes just like the basic cookies. The recipe makes BIG granola clusters which might be crunchy, candy, somewhat salty, and stuffed with chocolate taste.

I maintain the recipe on the wholesome facet by utilizing healthful elements that I all the time have readily available. The granola clusters are sweetened with coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, and chocolate chips. In the event you don’t need to use any refined sugars, you need to use Hu baking chips. They’re actually nice!

The granola clusters make an incredible breakfast, snack, or dessert. They’re nice with yogurt, milk, smoothie bowls, ice cream, or eaten by the handful.
