I’m not sure if I’ve ever come up with a better blog post title.
Nutella granola.
Sometimes you don’t need a creative blog post title to convey greatness.
This little recipe popped in my mind as I baked up a batch of peanut butter granola on Monday.
A slight Nutella addiction came over me and my family during our trip to Europe this past spring.
Nutella is available in containers that are bigger than my face over there! Heaven.
The creamy chocolate hazelnut spread is available in Europe as prevalently as peanut butter is in the United States and we couldn’t get enough of it. (Peanut butter, oddly enough, is really hard to find over there.)
At around 3 p.m. yesterday I was hit with the afternoon munchies and decided to take advantage of actually having access to a real oven again (hooray!) and bake up a small batch of granola.
I was a little nervous that my experiment would fail, but I was pleasantly surprised! My mom and sister also tried some (it was all gone by the time my dad got home from work) and gave it rave reviews.
I can’t wait to enjoy this granola with milk, on top of Greek yogurt or by itself as a delicious snack.
I hope you enjoy!
Nutella Granola
Makes four 1/4 cup servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and set aside
- Combine Nutella and honey in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until just melted, about 25 seconds
- Stir Nutella and honey together until completely combined
- Pour oats into Nutella and honey mixture and stir until oats are completely coated in chocolate mixture (once all the ingredients are adequately mixed, the granola will be thick and almost moldable)
- Spread granola onto a cookie sheet, making sure to separate the oats a bit to create clusters
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, flipping halfway through
- Remove granola from the oven and allow to cool and harden into crunchy clusters
- Once granola is cool, add chocolate chips and enjoy

I think you may have made a recipe for heaven! 🙂 That looks seriously good- and addicting!
Ooohh I just bought a jar to make nutella ‘frosting’ to top black bean brownies. I think this will definitely be next on the list!
Girl you are a genius! I have been thinking about nutella so much lately and now I no excuse not to get some!
That looks AMAZING – I will definitely try this recipe soon! After many years of Nutella addiction, I actually found a CRUNCHY version in a random grocery store in New Zealand once. It was INCREDIBLE. I have searched high and low but never found it anywhere again! Thanks for this granola brainwave 🙂
UMM holy deliciousness! This looks amazing! I absolutely love Nutella. In fact, one would say I’m obsessed after seeing how long it lasts in my house (ie not very long)! I’m definitely trying this out! YUM!
Yum! First I need to veganize Nutella…
I just made a batch, and it is SOOO good! There’s a good chance a) the rest of it won’t last through the day; and b) next time I’ll double or triple the recipe!
Thanks for the great recipe!
P.S. I added just under a 1/4 cup of sliced almonds to mine during the last 5 minutes of baking, and it add some extra crunch to the mix!
Oh my gosh!! Looks amazing! 🙂 That’s too funny that it is so prevalent in Europe!
OMG! You are an adorable little genius!
Nutella granola sounds brilliant!
And now I’m craving a crepe filled with Nutella and banana! Nice going!! LOL!
Your a genius!!!! Can’t wait to try it… can I use quick & steel cut oats or does it have to be old fashioned oats?
i would recommend old fashioned oats – but i think instant might work, too!
I love Nutella and I love Granola….sounds like a match made in heaven!
you have officially outdone yourself!! i am leaving work early (NOW) to go try this. wow!
i’m in LOVE with your granola recipes and make them all the time! in fact, my boyfriend, a former non-granola person, is obsessed with the PB granola and asks for it all the time! but i do have a question: HOW DO YOU FLIP IT??? I can never get the flipping part right!!
haha! i just kind of push it around and try to flip it with a turner. definitely not an exact science.
You had me at ‘nutella’ 🙂
Nutella: Me :: Buddy the Elf: Maple Syrup.
It’s good on anything and everything!
(Maybe even spaghetti?!)
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you!
Yum! Have you been here?

They have the ginormous jars of Nutella and even have individual sized packages that are paired with little cookies!
Nice looking recipe!! I see your note taking paid off!!
PS: It sounds DELICIOUS!!! I’m scared to try Nutella for fear of loving it too much. . . My daughter tried to get me to buy it and I just can’t have one more thing I can’t resist in my house!!
NUTELLA, that alone says it all!! I’ve been eating this since I was a wee little one and it brings back great childhood memories!! Now I’ve got my husband addicted. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
So I always make the homemade granola recipe from you blog but when it’s done and STILL HOT I add in chocolate chips. It’s AMAZING. Just sayin’.
I loove nutella!!! Not the healthiest thing around but it makes me happy! haha
nutella is now on my grocery list…can’t wait to try it!!!
Can’t wait to make this! I love nutella!
Holy yummm!
This is in the oven right now! I read the post and came directly into the kitchen. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I’m sure it won’t last long…
I think i just died and went to heaven! I’m absolutely obsessed with nutella but rarely buy it because i easily finish an entire jar in one week. I have have have to try this recipe!!
It’s sooooo difficult to find peanut butter in Europe, you got that right!
Nutella is found EVERWHere, peanut butter can only be found in the processed version :s Fortunately I can order my peanut butter from iherb.. 🙂 PB2 in tha houseeee :))
I love Nutella but I always forget to buy it. 🙁
Granola is one of the many keys to my heart and this looks dang incredible!!!!
I’ve never made granola! I haven’t even ever tried it! I’ve obviously been living a very sheltered life. It looks amazing, it’s on my new list of “things I must try!”
HOLY CRAP. I need this now.
Also, I got my first jar of Biscoff spread this week?!?!? Words cannot describe the goodness…biscoff cookie taste in the form of a spread. You must get it! I got mine at Publix.
Thanks for the yummy recipe!!
It looks sinful. I am planning on starting to make my own granola as cereal and my own bars as soon as my current stash runs out so thanks for sharing all the other recipes, too!
Oh this looks amazing!! I will have to try it!
Oh man….. I just happen to have a Nutella jar hiding in the back of my pantry. I can’t wait to try this. I’ve never made moy own granola before. Yay! There’s a pretty good chance I’ll have to eat more than one serving. he he!
YUUUUM! This looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to make this for a friend of mine who is visiting this weekend… that is if I don’t eat the entire jar of Nutella first! 😉
You had me at nutella….
Genius!!! I so have to try this. I absolutely love Nutella. It is the best invention ever!
Mmmmmm very simple yet creative Julie!!
Ohmygosh I didn’t think I could love you anymore Julie and then you do this! I’m actually going to have to go out and buy some nutella to make this, it looks ridiculously yummy!! Thank you so much 🙂
This looks SO delicious! If only I allowed myself to have nutella in my house! Whenever I buy it, it disappears way too fast and I get a tummyache 🙁
Oh. My. Goodness! Nutella granola? Genius!
Oh my…I’ve never made granola before, but I might just have to give this one a go….
Thanks for the recipe!
gasped with delight when I read the title of this post!
I love granolas that make breakfast feel like dessert. Bear Naked’s Heavenly Chocolate granola is one of my faves. This sounds even better! Nutella is so wonderful!
I made this and it was a-ma-zing!
PS: I adore that wrap sweater! 🙂
YUMMY!!! I bet this is like the Pb and Co dark chocolate dreams granola I made with your recipe 🙂
I seriously cannot wait to try this. I have been obsessed with Nutella this past week just going to the pantry for a spoonful. YUM! Breakfast this morning contained an Alternative Bagel with Nutella on one side, and PB on the other with banana slices on top. Great way to start the day!
Now please make some pb-nutella granola and tell me how!
