Chocolate Chunky Monkey Granola {plus basic chocolate granola}

I’ve got granola for ya two ways today! A basic chocolate granola (that I just love love love) and chunky monkey granola (okay, totally love it too!)

The basic chocolate is made with oats, coconut oil, cocoa, chocolate chips, honey, and vanilla.  It’s simple and just perfection.  Almosts tasts like a chocolate no bake cookie, minus the peanut butter.  I love sprinkling this on top of my morning protein shake!

There’s all kinds of things that would be good to mix in to this granola.  But I highly recommend trying my Chunky Monkey version~ by mixing in peanut butter chips and chocolate cover bananas.  It’s deathly good.  

If the chocolate covered banana chips are too sweet, just use regular banana chips.  To be honest, my grocery store didn’t have the plain ones, but I’m not complaining:) Feel free to add walnuts or any other nut if you prefer too.
