Peanut butter chocolate lovers… this one is for you! This Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola is a gluten free granola recipe, low in sugar and full of healthy fats!
I love that this granola only has 8g of sugar per serving! That’s super rare to find in many granolas out there. This delicious and nutritious granola is sweetened with honey and a little chocolate because, let’s be honest, chocolate is the best. Healthy fats from the coconut oil and peanut butter will leave you feeling satisfied and the flavor combo will have you coming back for seconds later in the day. For a boost of protein, toss a serving of this granola on top of a bowl of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt and you’re set!
With the holiday season in our midst, this Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola is a fabulous option to throw together for your family & friends gathering.
Oh and this recipe is so simple and definitely a healthier dessert option if you’re in search of one!
The saltiness from the peanuts, peanut butter, & sea salt combined with the sweetness from the honey & chocolate is drool worthy.
The flavor of this granola reminds me a little bit of peanut brittle — minus the corn syrup and an overwhelming amount of sugar. Any peanut brittle lovers out there?? Definitely a walk down memory lane!
I’d love to see how your granola turns out so, as always, if you make this insanely delicious Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola recipe be sure to tag me on Instagram @loveandzest or #loveandzest

I don’t see the recipe for this?
Hey! I’m sorry about that. I had some glitches with my recipe card– this one is up now.
This looks delicious! I always find chocolate and peanut butter to be such an indulgent combination, but it’s one that’s still healthy and fills you up! Perfect for busy days and especially cosy in the winter months. I love the combination of sweet and salty, too – perfection.
Can’t wait to try this! Looks SO GOOD
