CHOCOLATE & BERRIES GRANOLA

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ♥

I hope you all had an amazing New Year’s Eve Celebration yesterday. I wanted to start of the new year with some breakfast ideas and first out is this Chocolate & Berries Granola that is just so delicious.

This granola is easy to make, and if you like you can make it gluten free by using gluten free oatmeal.This granola is made with delicious nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans and almonds, oatmeal and pumpkin seeds.

After it has been in the oven and cooled down I add chunks of dark chocolate, dried raspberries, dried grand berries, raw coconut flakes and blend it all together. I like to serve it with naturell yogurt and some fresh fruit on top! I hope you are going to love this one as much as I do!
