Chocolate Granola. If you want a stickier granola, that will more easily clump together, you can up the brown sugar and maple syrup a bit, as I used the bare minimum in this recipe, but I think it's plenty sweet enough, especially if you're a fan of dark chocolate. We came up with another excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast. Classic oats, nuts, and sweetened coconut get mixed with a cocoa-honey syrup before baking in the oven.

I high recommend doubling the recipe as I made it as stated and it was gone in a day! I just can't say enough how wonderful this recipe is. The only change I made was using real butter instead of butter flavored spread. You can cook Chocolate Granola using 6 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you cook it.
