The classic peanut butter and chocolate flavors are combined in this easy-to-make homemade peanut butter chocolate granola. It is a breakfast treat that your family will love.
Homemade granola is a favorite breakfast at our house. I have been making it for years.
One of our favorite flavor combinations for homemade granola is peanut butter chocolate granola.
I first shared this recipe way back in 2014. Over the years I have changed up the recipe a little bit. I made a big batch last week and decided it was time to share the updated version with you.
For this recipe, I basically took my peanut butter granola recipe and chocolate to it.
Peanut butter and chocolate are a classic combination. It is a perfect for homemade granola.
Because of the peanut butter in this, the granola does not crisp up quite the same as some of my other homemade granola recipes, but it is still delicious.
If you have never made homemade granola I highly recommend trying it. It is so easy to make at home. It is cheaper to make at home. Have you seen the price of store-bought granola recently? It is crazy expensive.
When you make it at home you can also control the ingredients and know what is in them.
My favorite way to eat this is with yogurt. It is so good layered in a bowl with vanilla yogurt. For a higher protein version use greek yogurt.
Yogurt and granola is a delicious breakfast, lunch, or snack!
Kids and adults will love this homemade breakfast!

This granola made into a crunchy granola bar…. please create that! My kids love Nature Valley Oat and Dark Chocolate but we are working on eliminating processed foods and I would love to have an homemade alternative. I love your recipes and nut-free ideas.
That is a great idea! I have a homemade granola bar we love, so I will have to tweak it to make it pb chocolate!
