Cocoa Granola

Made this quicky granola this morning for our breakfast :D My 4 years old loves it, he had 2 bowls of breakfast (small bowls), without any additions, just the granola and milk. However, my 8 years old prefers with additional fresh fruits and drizzle of maple syrup.

This granola can be served as cereal, snack, and yogurt topping. You can turn them as bars as well, with a little adjustment to the way you prepare it :)
