My husband is always so excited when I make a new batch of homemade granola. His favorite is my chocolate peanut butter granola, but I knew it was time to mix it up and try a new flavor! This sweet and salty version is oh so good! You get salt from the peanuts, almonds, and a dash of sugar, but sweetness from the coconut, chocolate chips, and a smidge of brown sugar! The two flavors combine so well to make a delicious topping!
I added what we like to this granola recipe, but you can definitely customize as you’d like! If you aren’t a coconut fan, feel free to leave it out! You could definitely replace the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips, or whatever you prefer! The combinations are endless here and you should definitely suit the recipe to your preferences!
Sweet and Salty Homemade Granola is definitely a new favorite in our house! I love this for a healthy snack on top of Greek yogurt before bed! Don’t be scared to make granola at home! Once you try it once, you won’t want to buy it from the store again!
