A filling breakfast is essential and what better way than with this delicious chocolate granola. I love homemade granola much more than store-bought ones, it is definitely much healthier as well.
The best thing about it is you can make it in less than an hour and can store it for about a week.
Having a batch of these ready at hand will definitely give you a quick on-the-go breakfast or something to munch on during snack-time or even as a dessert (Not kidding! )
And the best part is the fact that you can use quick oats for this recipe. Rolled oats aren’t always easily available everywhere and you’d notice they are slightly more expensive as per my experience. So it can come really handy to make large batches of granola using quick oats instead.
You will have to try it for yourself o find out how amazing it is!
