You are going to love this easy recipe for homemade Chocolate Chip Granola. What is your favorite cereal to enjoy for breakfast? For me it would be granola well, really Cap’n Crunch, but that’s for another blog post.

I really do love granola.  I love to have it on top of yogurt or on top of a cracker spread with peanut butter or just in a bowl with milk.

Chocolate Chip Granola

I’m sharing with you today a very easy recipe for homemade coconut pecan chocolate chip granola. Your family is going to love it almost as much as mine. I love granola because it is very easy to make but the one thing I don’t love about granola is the price.

It is really expensive these days to purchase granola from the grocery store. Which is why I love this recipe AND you can add basically anything to this recipe when it’s done baking.

I added mini chocolate chips because it adds a little extra sweetness to the crunch of the oats and pecans.  And if you don’t like coconut, you can leave that out from the recipe.  Either way, you are going to LOVE this recipe!

Is Homemade Granola Healthy for You? 

YES! Many store-bought granola recipes are made up of a combination of healthy and not-so-healthy ingredients. Which is why it’s important and so much better for you to make it homemade. That way you can control exactly what goes into the granola. 

How to make Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola

This is a pretty basic recipe and you can add pretty much anything after the granola has cooked and cooled that your family loves.  I love adding mini chocolate chips and dried fruit. This homemade granola recipe is really easy and delicious.  I know your family will enjoy it and you’ll enjoy knowing you’re saving money by making it at home!

How to Store Homemade Granola

• Once the granola has cooled, you can store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. 
• I like to store my homemade granola in mason jars. They work great at keeping everything fresh and look great in my pantry. 
• You can also freeze the granola in a freezer-safe container or freezer-safe bag for up to 4 months.
