Chocolate granola for breakfast? Sure why not! The combination with raw cacao, dark chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut flakes, which is loaded with almonds and walnuts is something we all love. And because I use whole grain flakes of oats, barley, rye and spelt it\u2019s something I can definitely say is healthier than any standard boxed cereal — and without actually saying it. Yes, that was the first question from my favorite Schwabe\u2019s oldest son, Leander asked. \u201cIs it healthy?\u201d. Little white lie. Just try it, it\u2019s delicious.<\/p>\n

Of course, there is no refined sugar. I could have used something like agave syrup. It\u2019s sweet like honey and of course lighter on the calories and but really we are talking CHOCOLATE granola here. Is that necessary? And after all I am Canadian, which means I love my maple syrup and its rich, distinct flavor.<\/p>\n

So this recipe makes one big jar, and let\u2019s just say, it doesn\u2019t last long… two or three days tops!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fantastic served with a little unsweetened almond milk, OR mixed with your morning muesli, OR together with some chia pudding OR… all by its glorious self — as a perfect little snack.<\/p>\n

So easy and totally fail safe, this recipe is also naturally vegan since I use organic vegan chocolate. It can easily be made gluten-free by replacing the oats with certified gluten-free oats. And it uses pure, raw organic cacao.<\/p>\n

Pure, raw, organic cacao is just amazing. So is pure vanilla bourbon powder. Cacao itself is great for your health and is a high energy food, according to David Wolfe, the raw cacao master (you can watch his TEDx talk about it here<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

\n“Real” chocolate is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, copper, vitamin C, phosphorus and whole lot more. One of the best parts, besides tasting great, is that chocolate is also rich in tryptophan<\/a>, which is a powerful mood-enhancer (crucial in the production of serotonin) which can help reduce anxiety AND has the same impact as love in our brain. So I guess that’s why chocolate is often associated with Valentine’s day.<\/p>\n

So go ahead and add more raw, pure and organic cacao into your diet and start feeling its amazing effects!<\/p>\n
