Simple Paleo Granola
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mixed nuts I do cashews, almonds, pecans and pistachios
- 1 tbps ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp raw local honey (for vegan, substitute agave)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp cashew butter
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes preferably unsweetened
- 1/4 cup add-ins I did raisins, but you can do dried cranberries, dried blueberries or dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease baking sheet with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
- Roughly chop nuts by hand until you have a variety of large and small pieces. If you're in a hurry you can use a food processor and pulse a few times.
- Add to large bowl.
- Add coconut flour and cinnamon to the nut mixture.
- In a glass dish, melt coconut oil and honey together in microwave.
- Drizzle over the nut mixture and stir well.
- Add vanilla, cashew butter and almond milk. Mix well to combine. The mixture should be coming together. If it's not, add more honey or cashew butter, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 15-18 minutes.
- After the 15-18 minutes is up, add in coconut flakes and your add-ins (unless your doing chocolate chips; you'll add those once the granola has cooled).
- Bake another 5-7 minutes.
- Let granola cool completely on baking sheet.
Notes
It may not seem done when you take it out of the oven, but it will harden and become crunchy once it cools.
