What to do with Cacao Nibs? Part 9 Grain Free Granola with Nibs

Grain free Granola ChocolateSpiel with Nibs

It’s really easy to find great granolas out there. But the good ones are often ridiculous expensive and include lots of sugar. That’s why I like to make my own grain free granola now and then. I can adjust the amount of sugar I like and choose my favorite seeds and nuts. 

Enjoy with yogurt, milk or milk alternatives, and highly recommended: straight out of the jar. 


What you need to make my granola:

  • 2 cups or 200g coconut flakes

  • 1 cup or 100g almond meal

  • 1 cup or 100g sun flower seeds

  • 1/2 cup or 50g pumpkin seeds

  • 1/2 cup or 50g chopped pecan

  • 1 cup or 100g chia seeds

  • 1 cup or 100g cacao nibs

  • 1 tablespoon syrup (I used a Trivia syrup, but feel free to use maple syrup or honey)

  • 4 tablespoons of almond butter (also very yummy with peanut butter!)

How to make granola:

  1. Add all ingredients into a large bowl

  2. Either you mix it with a whisk or by hand 

  3. Spread whole mix on a tray 

  4. Bake for 15 min at 250°F/125°C

  5. Turn granola over

  6. Repeat 4 times total 

  7. Allow to cool down

  8. Store in an airtight container or jar for 1-2 weeks
