Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Granola (Nut Free)

In my kitchen we have this old warming drawer that never really gets used so it’s just kind of become the granola drawer where I put whatever granola I have on rotation at the moment. I’m sure you can guess that lately I’ve been spending a lot of time next to that drawer because this raspberry chocolate chunk granola might just be the best combo yet. It’s has the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch with just a touch of sourness from the dried raspberries. It’s rich and decadent, but it’s also loaded with all sorts of healthy fats and carbohydrates. It’s also extremely addicting—so be warned.

I have a nut allergy so it’s always been hard to find allergy friendly granola brands. For a while, I was ordering one online because they didn’t carry it any any stores near me, but when you love granola as much as I do, it started to get pretty expensive. Well it turns out that homemade granola is SO easy and fun to make! I love it because you can play around with different flavors and mix ins, this one uses seeds instead of nuts, but feel free to add in almonds, walnuts etc, if you prefer it.

A few tips

• It’s really important that you spread out the granola mixture as thin thin as it can go without pressing any holes into it. I’ve ruined batches before by making it too thick and I ended up with soft, soggy ‘nola.
• To make this vegan, use dairy free chocolate and replace the honey with more maple syrup.
