I’ve been making this gluten-free chocolate peanut butter granola for years. I first began experimenting with homemade granola in high school after I realized how much sugar was in the store-bought brands.

I couldn’t comprehend why someone would start their day with a bowl of sugar so I set out on a mission to craft my own.

My favorite way to eat this granola, aside from by itself, is with plain Greek yogurt. For the longest time I’ve tried to compare this granola/yogurt combo to something and I’ve failed.

This past week I finally realized what it tastes like. Those oreo-yogurt mix-in’s from back in the day !!! Like the ones below.

That said, I definitely recommend trying out this combination, it’s life-changing.
