Chocolate Almond Granola
Are you trying to make healthier snack choices? This granola can be put together quickly and is made with 10 ingredients. You can add the chocolate chips or leave them out completely. This granola is made with maple syrup instead of refined sugars. I love how I can get my chocolate and nut fix too! You can enjoy this granola sprinkled on yogurt and fruit or on its own as a snack. Enjoy!
