Every morning I get out of bed to eat a bowl with whole milk. A favourite podcast is also on the menu.

Batch #2 is in the oven as the kids gobbled it all up this morning. Thank you so much for sharing!

I usually add some pumpkin seeds with the almonds, some dried cranberries with the chocolate at the end, and often use agave nectar in place of the honey. It's great over vanilla ice cream for a night time snack.

My son just returned from study abroad in Paris and raved about the Monoprix chocolate granola.

I will have to give your recipe a try and see if he likes it.

I know I can always count on your blog when I'm out of good ideas. Your Daily Granola has become a staple here and my husband loves it. I'm always trying out different combinations of seeds/nuts (cashews, walnuts, linseed etc), sweeteners (maple syrup, date molasses are a few) and dried fruits. And every time he goes off to work (he works in the Middle East while I live in France), I give him a bag of the stuff to take along with him.
But last week my husband was thinking back at his University days and suddenly started longing for this “mmmmmm delicious mmmmm *slurp*” chocolate granola (his onomatopoeia) that he used to have as a student. Although it was incredibly overpriced for a tiny box (Luxury Granola by Alpen), he used to dig into his student budget to buy two boxes of the stuff every week.
Now I wasn't one to let a big-name brand cereal take on my wholesome, Orangette-blog based, homemade goodness, so I had to decide on a plan of action, considering that I only had a Google image picture of the front of the cereal box to go by (no ingredient list). Your chocolate granola recipe came to mind instantly. I swapped the almonds for toasted hazelnuts, because the Google picture showed hazelnuts on the front of the box and because chocolate and hazelnuts are a match made in heaven. Followed the rest exactly as you wrote it out and ta-da! He loves it! Homemade 1 – commercial brand 0!
Thanks again Molly!
