Crunchy oats and toasted hazelnuts are coated with a melted Nutella mixture and loaded with mini chocolate chips. This insanely crunchy granola is perfect for snacking.
This Chocolate Hazelnut Granola is ridiculously delicious. It’s not necessarily healthy when compared to this Maple Pecan Granola or Cranberry Orange Granola, but if you put it next to this Funky Monkey Ice Cream, it’s totally healthy.
Besides, life is all about balance anyway, right? Or is that just the excuse we use to eat what we want? Meh–either way, I’m feasting on this chocolate-coated crunchy goodness.
I make no excuses where food is concerned. Eat now. Think about it later.
This granola is ultra chocolate-y thanks to the addition of melted Nutella and mini chocolate chips. The mini chocolate chips get sprinkled over the hot granola as soon as it comes out of the oven, causing them to melt slightly and adhere to the crispy oats and toasted hazelnuts.
It’s all thanks to the mini chocolate chips that this granola is so very addictive.
And then there’s the turbinado sugar. It, too, gets sprinkled over the warm granola, adhering to every nook and cranny. It adds a sweet crunch to every bite of granola.
Like I said, addictive.
You can enjoy this Chocolate Hazelnut Granola by the handful (my preferred method), or you can sprinkle it over vanilla Greek yogurt. Either way you decide to eat it, you’re going to become instantly smitten with the crunchy goodness.
