This one is for my sister...actually, she is the one that turned me onto the blog I found this recipe on, Peanut Butter Fingers. The recipe is for Chocolate Protein Granola...I liked the sound and look of it right away, but I was even more pleased when I had all the ingredients to make it already at my house, score!! I was able to whip it up this morning while I fed Harper breakfast! And let me tell you, it smelled like brownies when it was cooking in the oven! I threw it in some plain yogurt with dried cherries and a drizzle of honey and it was super yum!!! It was good just by itself but I am also tempted to buy a little vanilla icecream so I can sprinkle the granola on top!!! You should give it a try!

That is too funny, I saw this on the blog and printed out the recipe to try but you beat me to it! I am glad to hear you are a fan, I will definitely be getting it a try this weekend then. What I liked most was that it was all ingredients I usually have on hand so no special trips to the grocery store. Thanks for reminding me about the recipe!
