Most of you know that I am seriously obsessed with granola. And I also adore anything that contains peanut butter and chocolate, especially dark chocolate. So, (I thought to myself) why not make a recipe that contains both? Y E S!! Who says healthy snacks can’t taste delicious?
Holy cow this is INCREDIBLE! And the best part is, it’s completely healthy. No junk in here (unlike other granolas in the supermarkets). This makes the perfect healthy snack, or breakfast or dinner. Don’t judge.

One word of advice, I urge you to put it into individual plastic bags for portion control. You seriously just might eat all of it at once. Not that I would know anything about that, it’s just words of advice. It is addictive. Yes, I know, it’s super healthy, but too much of anything isn’t good for you. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I did! You will want to make this every single week. And your family will thank you 🙂
This is probably a dumb question, but is the quinoa cooked?
Not a dumb question at all Nancy! It is actually uncooked and it makes the granola super crunchy. I will add that to the recipe so everyone knows that. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like the granola 🙂
This was delicious and so easy to make! I’m glad I portioned it out before I had one serving!
Yes you have to portion it out first Isabel, it’s addictive 🙂
I love this granola, I make a batch every week. Any idea how many calories in 1/2 cup? Or any amount really….
Hi Brenda! I am so happy that you like it, it’s my favorite! I just added the nutritional information at the bottom of the post. ENJOY! 🙂
Peanut butter and chocolate in granola is a great idea! Sounds wonderful!
Thank you Catherine! 🙂
