Coconut Chocolate Chip Granola

Happy Monday friends!! I hope you had a great weekend. We had an arctic blast this weekend and stayed in for almost all of it. A few inches of snow and 10 degrees weather calls for cozy pajamas, hot chocolate and binge-watching tv-shows. That is exactly what I did this weekend and I am not sorry. Anyone watch Suits? I was behind two seasons so had to catch up before they come back.

I was able to get started on my weekly meal prep with lunches and this coconut chocolate chip granola for snacks and breakfasts. Do you do weekly meal prep on Sundays? I am starting to get used to it thanks to this 3 week Lunch Prep Challenge where Denise provides meal prep lunch recipes and shopping list. She also has a breakfast prep challenge I loved.

I love making homemade granola! It’s so easy and I get to add in exactly what I want. It’s my favorite way to clear out the pantry. Got a left over almonds? A tablespoon of chia seeds? Flaxseeds? Throw it all in and customize it to your taste. I always have a container of granola for quick snacks and energy boost.

For this coconut chocolate chip granola, I wanted a little but of indulgent kick so I threw in chocolate chip. I upgraded my base coconut almond granola and added in chocolate chips after baking the granola. Easy peasy and my new favorite granola. After all, there is double coconut in these!!
