Chocolate Coconut Almond Granola

Just in time for Valentine's Day I've made this yummy & nutritious Chocolate Coconut Almond Granola! It's chunky- perfect for snacking! I've enjoyed it several mornings with a banana & plain yogurt. 
 It has no more sweetener than our other Granola blends- and I use almond butter for added protein. It is baked in shallow half sheet pans and not stirred to achieve e a chunky consistency.
 There is a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips to give it a little something extra. 

I promise to begin posting recipes in the coming weeks. For now- I use a basic 7-1 ratio for my Granola blends- 7 parts dry ingredients to 1 part wet ingredients. You can make a simple Granola using 6 cups of oats, 1 cup nuts and 1 cup of maple syrup or honey or agave nectar. Simple! The Chocolate blend has 1/2 cup cocoa powder in each minimum recipe- as well as oats, coconut & almonds.
