Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ cup shredded coconut
1 cup rice puffs cereal
½ cup Nutella
2 cups rolled oats
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, rice puffs cereal, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.
Add the Nutella to the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and well combined. The mixture may be sticky, which is normal.
Divide the granola evenly into 4 bowls and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Comments
This granola hits on speed and simplicity, but ingredient costs and availability create real friction for a weeknight. Nutella and chia seeds are available at most Charlotte chains, but chia seeds run $8–12 per bag at Harris Teeter or Food Lion, and you'll use only a fraction of it unless you cook with them regularly; ALDI has a cheaper option but not every location stocks it. The stated 10 minutes ignores the mixing and scooping required, realistically 15 minutes, which isn't a deal-breaker but doesn't feel as grab-and-go as advertised. The granola doesn't reheat well—it's a same-night eat and will soften quickly once assembled, so portion sizing matters. Best for someone already buying chia seeds and seeking a quick dessert rather than a family breakfast staple.
