Chocolate peanut butter pumpkin granola
Embark on a delectable journey with our Chocolate Peanut Butter Pumpkin Granola. Immerse yourself in the delightful fusion of rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and the warmth of pumpkin-spiced goodness.
We are slightly embarrassed.
In the five years we have been blogging, we don’t have a single granola recipe. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. How do these things happen? Probably because we have dreamy eyes for Sir Tater Tot and Mr. Chorizo. STILL! There is no excuse for not making a simple and savory treat.
Since our realization, we knew we needed to make something with a little extra sass. Living in Denver we are surrounded by all sorts of locally made goodies – cheeses, granola bars, salsas, and our current favorite, spicy sriracha sunflower butter. We don’t know much about the “other butters”, but we will say, the sriracha flavoring makes it two-snaps up.
After deciding we wanted to incorporate sriracha sunflower butter into a granola recipe, we took to the “googles” to get some ideas. YOU GUYS. We typed ‘granola recipes’ into the search bar, and we literally thought our computer was going to implode. There are 59,348 recipes that automatically pop up. Folks must dig themselves some granola.
Well, with it being fall and all, we are in the mood to play with pumpkin flavors. So we decided to combine pumpkin, chocolate, and spicy sriracha sunflower butter. OMG. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Pumpkin Granola is not like your regular granola, oh, no. It’s light and fluffy with a cake like texture. You could eat it like a piece of cake or mix it into your smoothie, either way, it’s a winning situation.
Now, if we could only incorporate chorizo into granola.
Too much?
