Paleo Granola
This grain-free, refined-sugar free granola tastes great and is prepared to maximize the micronutrient value of the ingredients. Eat it by the handful or add it to a bowl of yogurt or a smoothie for a more complete breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds raw
- 1 cup peacans raw
- 1 cup walnuts raw
- 2 cups cashews raw
- 1 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place all of the nuts in a food processor and pulse a few times until nuts are in medium-small chunks. This step may also be done by hand by roughly chopping the nuts.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine with the chopped nuts and coconut flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for approx. 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir once or twice during the baking process. At least the first time, watch your granola carefully to avoid burning and to make sure the temperature and time suggested here work with your oven.
- Remove from oven, stir, and allow to cool before transferring to a storage jar.
