Healthy Cocoa Nib Granola Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel 1 Comment

Cocoa Nib Granola at FoodApparel.comThere are so many wonderful granola recipes out there.  It isn’t something most people think of making, but man, when there are five people loading their bowl up with it in the morning, buying can get pricey!

 Over the years I have tried many granola recipe and loved them.  This recipe is my go to for many reasons.   First, it is so simple.  Second, it is very versatile.  You can use the lightly flavored oil you prefer.  You can switch the nibs for coconut, sunflower seeds, or pecans.  You can mix and match nut quantity and varieties and even switch up the flax seed with wheat germ.

Last, I love that this can be made with maple syrup and no sugar. If you are craving it a little sweeter, throw some in. Working on your New Year’s Resolution?  Skip it.

Whatever you do with it, make it your own.  And if you don’t have your own mini army to feed, put it in a jar and share as a gift.
