If you know how much I love chocolate peanut butter it won’t surprise you that I’ve come up with yet another recipe with this dynamic duo!

Old fashioned oats, flax, and walnuts are tossed with a mixture of honey, oil and cocoa powder scented with cinnamon and vanilla.

Once baked, the entire dish is drizzled with melted creamy peanut butter.

While there is cocoa powder in the granola, I love to give it an added chocolate boost by tossing in mini chocolate chips at the end. Pro Tip: Let the granola cool slightly before stirring in chocolate chips otherwise they will melt right away.

Not a fan of walnuts? No problem. This granola recipe is very versatile so use any type of nut you have on hand such as pecans, almonds or cashews! Can you use maple syrup instead of honey? Absolutely!
