A bowl of chocolate raspberry granola is a great way to start the day! This is a decadent breakfast, but so easy to make!
I love to make granola – it’s one of the things that I tend to make a couple of times each week. Everyone in my family loves it, and it makes a quick and easy allergy friendly breakfast.
Sometimes we get a little tired of our standard flavors, like this buttery coconut granola, so I try to mix it up. A recent kitchen adventured resulted in this delicious chocolate raspberry granola.
It was a fun new flavor, and I loved the way the freeze dried raspberries added a fun splash of color to my breakfast. And anytime I can get away with chocolate for breakfast (like with these homemade pop tarts), it’s a win!

Ingredient Notes
- Freeze Dried Raspberries – We like Karen’s Naturals for freeze dried fruit. This brand is made in a fruit and veggie only facility the last time I checked. You should always check the label and call the company to make sure any product is safe for your allergies. You could also air dry your own fruit. If you can’t find any freeze dried berries, you could also just add fresh fruit to your granola before you eat it!
- Certified Gluten Free Oats – You can find certified gluten free oats in most grocery stores or health food stores. I like to order the GF Harvest brand on Amazon – they are made in a peanut and tree nut facility.
- Vegan Buttery Spread – We like Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Buttery Spread, but you can use any brand that works for your dietary needs.
Step by Step Instructions
- Melt the vegan buttery spread and add the maple syrup and cocoa powder. Stir well.
- Add the salt, certified gluten free oats, and mini chocolate chips.
