Easy Chocolate Granola

5 from 1 vote
There is no easier and better breakfast than this chocolate granola, a vegan and gluten-free combo of rolled oats, chocolate, almonds, and more! It's super crunchy and tasty, but best of all it's not too sweet to weigh you down in the morning. It's also pretty customizable if you want to make some simple changes. Literally, it takes about 5 minutes to combine the ingredients and 20-25 minutes to bake.
