About Me
Hi, I'm Caroline, an almost 40 year old, wife, and mother of two boys, and I live in Kansas. Most of the time you will find me in my workout clothes and hair thrown up in a ponytail. I grew up watching/helping my mom cook, and she instilled my love of food. I've been following a paleo/whole30 lifestyle since January 2016, and I love it. I hope to share with you my passion for working out, and making healthy, easy, and delicious meals.Paleo Granola
Paleo Grain-free Granola
Warning: this granola is addictive, it’s that good! It’s sweet, crunchy, and salty. My husband doesn’t eat paleo, and he can’t stop eating it!
I don’t know about you, but I get tired of eggs for breakfast. I have a few brands of paleo granola that are really good. The problem is, they are expensive for the amount of granola you get in that little bag. So, I thought, it can’t be that difficult to make your own paleo granola, and guess what? It’s super easy!
It’s great by itself for a snack, but I also love to eat it for breakfast with unsweetened almond milk and fresh fruit. Let me know your favorite way to eat granola.
NOTE: All of the nuts and seeds should be unsalted.

Ingredients
- 1 16 0z bag raw almonds
- 1 cup chopped raw pecans
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 2 Tbsp flax seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup raw honey
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Step 2 Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper ( I use a 16 x 12)
- Step 3 Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until the almonds are in small pieces, but NOT almond meal (about 12 good pulses.)Place the almonds in a large bowl.
- Step 4 Put the coconut in the food processor and pulse until it’s in smaller pieces (about 5 pulses.) Add the coconut to the almonds in the bowl.
- Step 5 Add the pecans, pepitas, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and salt to the bowl. Mix to combine.
- Step 6 In a small bowl, combine honey and coconut oil. Microwave for 20 seconds to make it easier to mix. Stir well (they will not look very combined.)
- Step 7 Pour the coconut oil and honey over the bowl of granola and stir until well combined.
- Step 8 Pour the granola on the parchment lined baking sheet and place into the preheated 325 degree oven for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway.
- Step 9 When the granola is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Don’t stir it.
- Step 10 Once it is cooled, you may have to break it into pieces. Place it in an airtight container.
