Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Granola

Simple and delicious, peanut butter granola with chocolate chunks- a peanut butter and chocolate lover’s dream and a perfect snack to have on hand!

I should have known this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Granola wouldn’t last long at our house.  I might have single-handedly eaten the entire batch in just about two days.  I found every excuse to eat it–sprinkled in my morning protein shake  (which is really good btw), snacking on handfuls here and there, sprinkled on top of ice cream or frozen yogurt, or just in  a bowl with milk. 

I seriously couldn’t stop.  But I didn’t feel all that guilty, it’s  made with coconut oil, honey, and peanut butter plus oats and chocolate chips.  Kinda sorta healthy, right?! 

Do you know the secrete to getting big, clusters of granola?  Egg whites.  Beat a couple of egg whites together and mix it into the granola just before you bake it.   Then let it cool completely before you gently break it up and put it in a container.  

I love big, chunky, clustery granola.  It’s the best.  Especially when you like to eat it by the handfuls 🙂 

Now scurry off and make some granola!
