The oats are cooled completely.

Cocoa nibs are toasted in a small skillet for a few minutes to release their earthy tones and help diminish their bitterness.

The result is a delicious fruit and nut granola with sweet slant, from the caramelized oat pieces.

Serves dual purpose. Cereal granola and dessert granola. Snack material. An excellent addition to your favorite yogurt or ice cream. Perfect by the handful.
