This wholesome Thermomix chocolate granola is a delicious blend of oats, seeds, shredded coconut, maple syrup, coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon. It's crunchy, chocolatey and far more satisfying than boxed cereal.
Store-bought granolas contain a lot of refined sugar, artificial flavourings, and additives, so it's a great option to make your own. The Thermomix makes it easy to weigh and mix the ingredients before toasting the granola in the oven until crunchy.
Chocolate for breakfast feels a little indulgent, and if you enjoy this crunchy granola, you might also like my creamy Thermomix chocolate porridge and make-ahead chocolate chia seed pudding.
