Paleo Granola

Looking for something to munch on your way into work? Or something to put on top of your apple and almond butter? Look no further! Today's paleo recipe is some paleo granola - scrumptious on top of something, by itself or even with some coconut milk.




Paleo Granola
from Coconut Recipes.com.  Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
  • 4 cups oats
  • 2 cups toasted coconut (unsweetened)
  • 2 cups raw coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seed kernels
  • 1/2 cup chopped raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seed kernels
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup roasted nuts of choice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Combine oats, pumpkin seed kernels, chopped almonds, and sunflower seed kernels in a large bowl.
In a saucepan on the stove, melt together the honey, coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla, stirring occasionally, until combined.
Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and stir to coat.
Spread oat mixture into baking pans (metal pans cook faster than glass). Bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
After baking, add dried cranberries or raisins and roasted nuts. Enjoy granola with coconut milk or almond butter and fruit! Get creative - how will you eat it?!

  1. Just out of curiosity, wouldn't the oats make this not a "paleo" recipe? If not, how come?

  2. AH! Thanks guys! I thought i removed that part. This is an example of taking an existing recipe and adjusting it for the paleo lifestyle. Instead of oats, I would use shredded unsweetened coconut because i LOVE IT. But you could use other types of seeds or nuts in its place as well.

  3. This Paleo Granola is perfect for a delicious breakfast. I eat it everyday. Fruit for lunch. A nice big plate of meat and vegetables for dinner. I've been following the Paleo diet for 2 years now and it's the easiest and yummiest diet I've ever been on.
