I have made this recipe SO many times, I knew that I was long overdue in sharing it with you. It is so incredibly delicious, the perfect marriage of dark chocolate and tart berries, all in a healthy Paleo, GAPS friendly food!
Do not be intimidated by the cook time here. While there is no instant gratification with this recipe, the actual time required of you is very minimal. Trust me, you must make this.
This granola is a high protein breakfast , or a healthy treat. I have shared this with many a friend and everyone loves it. I have to keep my kids at bay too, I am just a little bit possessive of the end product. “No, Mommy’s!!! Min
e! All mine!!”
In my personal opinion, the freeze dried berries are not at all optional. I get mine at Trader Joes, and use either raspberries or strawberries.
This recipe comes to you from Danielle at Against All Grain. Danielle has one of my very favorite blogs, I have made countless recipes from her site, and her pictures are always drool worthy.
Head on over to her post for the recipe details. Here are the adjustments I made:
- I have used a variety of nut mixes, all good, use what you have on hand!
- I used 1/4 cup chia meal in place of the flax
- I reduced the sweetener to 1/3 of cup of honey and added a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla stevia
- I increased the cocoa powder to 3 generous tablespoons
- I left the chocolate pieces out to keep it 100% Paleo
- I have also replaced the egg with chia egg with success for vegan goodie!
- I do not own a dehydrator. I used my oven at 170 degrees, and it took all day to dehydrate. I have since increased the temp to 250 degrees and it takes around 4 hours, give or take.
Enjoy people. this is CRACK in a healthy suit!
PS: I wish all things were as easy to photograph as chocolate and berries!!

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
I’ve had my eye on this recipe for a long time. So thankful for the oven tips! And I am also a little (just a little) possessive over certain foods too.
You won’t be disappointed Kristy, enjoy!
now you’re making me desperate to make a batch!!
well good Danielle, b/c YOU did it to ME!!! It’s all your fault (;
This looks so good! I have to make this immediately!!!
healthy crack?! sign me up! haha sounds delish!
Hey Tessa,
This recipe looks amazing! You know Scott would eat a gallon of this in the morning. Granola and Chocolate are his favorites.
Crack Granola-I want this over homemade yogurt
MMM-YUM!
Looks AMAZING! I agree, don’t think the freeze dried berries should be optional either!
Thanks Carol…great minds think alike!!
Chocolate for breakfast. Yeah that sound alright to me.
Most definitely France!
Wow this is some beautiful photography, I love the combination of pink, chocolatey, and white in the photos. And I guess you already know how delicious this looks. I have chocolate for breakfast and I am not ashamed!
I saw this post on Slightly Indulgent. I shared an apple protein donuts recipe, I’d love for you to check out as well
Hi Kammie, thanks for the comment! I will check your apple donuts out!
I have a hard time eating chocolate for breakfast, I just don’t care for something sweet in the morning, but this would definitely be in the snack category for me! Yummy flavors! Thank you for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop.
Hi Tessa,
I would just love this Granola, it looks like a real treat. Hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
