Chocolate Chia Crunch Granola

This decadent recipe is a little bit sweet but actually really healthy! I made it as part of my 'pre-baby' meal prep...but I'm not sure it's going to last that long! Dang it.Thankfully it's very easy to make so I'll be able to whip it up again with a baby attached to my front.....I hope!  Grab a handful as an afternoon pick me up, or have a whole bowl for breakfast or an after dinner treat, however you do it, make this and enjoy!
