Mocha Granola

Mocha Granola

Since I have time lately, I decided to make my own granola, instead of buying it. I found this great recipe and adjusted it a bit with some flavors I like and reduced the sugar.

I’m a coffee and chocolate lover so I decided to add some cocoa powder and coffee. I also replaced the raisins with some white chocolate chips but if you want to make this granola vegan, simply switch to dark chocolate!
