So I’m pretty bad about always following the same old recipe. I love to have a base recipe that I can change around depending on my mood and what’s in my pantry, which is why I love my basic Fruit & Honey Granola recipe.
Recently, I changed up my base Fruit & Honey Granola recipe – and turned it into a fabulous Chocolate Cranberry Granola! It’s so tasty. I love dark chocolate paired with almost anything, but it’s really nice with the tart cranberries. This granola is just the right combination of sweet, tart, and chocolate. Love it!
Here’s what I did to make my Homemade Chocolate Cranberry Granola.
Homemade Chocolate Cranberry Granola
Ingredients
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup chopped nuts (I mix almonds, pecans, walnuts – whatever I have on hand)
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Mix all dry ingredients {except the chocolate chips and the cranberries}.
- Whisk to combine oil and honey the best that you can.
- Add it to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Spread dry ingredients on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, turning the granola at the half-way point.
- Let cool completely on a baking rack.
- Remove granola from pan, add chocolate and cranberries. Mix well.
- Enjoy!

This looks so pretty. I will have to make this to hand out at our next Ladies meeting.
Thanks, Michelle! 🙂 I hope you like it.
Oh Yum! I’d definitely eat this as a snack by the handfuls!
It’s really good! And I already need to make more. 🙂
