    This chocolate strawberry vegan granola is super flavorful, full of crunch and just lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup. It's perfect served with milk, mixed into yogurt or chowed down on its own as a snack!

    Now, I know it has taken me a very long time to come out with a homemade granola recipe. It's no secret. I wanted to make sure I had the proper ingredients in my arsenal before I started recipe testing over here.

    I decided I wanted to combine a good mix of overtly healthy nuts & seeds with a few delicious indulgences like dark chocolate chips and freeze-dried strawberries. The combination of the two, paired up with some unsweetened coconut flakes, is truly a masterpiece!

    Since we started our kitchen remodel this week, this chocolate strawberry vegan granola has become such a timesaver in the mornings when we need something to incorporate into our breakfasts.

    In fact, I can see myself getting up in the middle of the night to chow down on some of this goodness as a snack, too.

    Ain't no shame over here.

    What I have discovered that I love most about making granola (yes, only after one time) is how creative you can get with ingredient add-ons.

    If you're not super into walnuts, try using pecans instead. If seeds just ain't your jam, simply leave them out or replace them with another favorite nut of yours!

    You know what's also super versatile about homemade granola? The way that you decide to use it!

    You can mix it into your favorite yogurt bowl/parfait, add it to a big bowl of non-dairy milk or simply snack on it by the handful(s).

    If I had known how easy it was to make granola at home, I would have stopped buying bags at the store a very long time ago.

    There is nothing *wrong* with them, but once you have tried the real deal, I don't think you'll be wanting to have store-bought granola again either! 😉

    Also, can we talk about how expensive it can be to buy fabulous granola?!

    This is especially true when it comes to finding granolas that are certified gluten free and don't have any processed sugar or funky add-ins inside. The prices get out of control very quickly.

    You can make this at home, personalize and tweak the ingredient list as much as you'd like, and it will come out to being much more cost effective. Sounds like a...

    win-win-win, no??

    I hope that you end up scarfing down this dark chocolate strawberry vegan granola as quickly as we did. I just made the entire batch two nights ago, and we hardly have any crumbs left.

    Because this granola comes loaded up with so many healthy fats from the nuts & seeds, it should leave you feeling fairly satiated afterwards.

    That doesn't mean you should go in for round two... or three though. 😉
