Paleo Parents Paleo Grain-free Granola AKA Awesome Cereal

    Ever since going Primal I have missed eating cereal so much!!! Then I cam across this recipe from Paleo Parents, an amazing website for recipes, made my day! Here is the direct link to the recipe! http://paleoparents.com/2011/grain-free-granola/ .Enjoy.

    Down below I pasted it as well. My husband cant get enough. I see him sneaking bites here and there through out the day! I used raisins instead of cranberries...will try cranberries soon! Tastes great with almond milk. YUM.



"Grain-Free Granola dairy-free, wheat-free, peanut-free, soy-free, fish-free, shellfish-free, egg-free (contains tree nuts)
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 C sliced almonds
• 1 1/2 C unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 C walnuts, finely chopped or pureed
• 1 C macadamia nuts, finely chopped or pureed
• 1 C dried cranberries
• 1/2 C fresh dates, diced
• 1/2 C coconut oil, melted
• 1/3 C honey
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions & How Kids Can Help

1. ♥ Combine almonds, coconut flakes, nuts and fruit in a bowl
2. ♥ Whisk together oil, honey and cinnamon
3. ♥ Pour oil-honey mixture over nuts and fruit and mix, let little hands mix well
4. ♥ Spread onto a single layer on lightly oiled baking sheet
5. Bake for one hour at 275 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning

Note: All steps which include the heart symbol ( ♥) are steps your children can do with you!
A small note: You can interchange ingredients as you’d like, but keep in mind the more sugar you add, the more likely it is that it will burn! ALWAYS check in on this recipe and pull it out early if it starts to get too brown!
This recipe makes a hefty batch that you can store in your pantry for quite a while. It is wonderful to eat loose by the handful or as part of a trail mix; but our boys love it by the bowl full with a handful of berries. Once you’ve made a batch, feel free to play with the nuts to include your own favorites – just make sure to always keep sliced almonds and coconut flakes as the base. Our kids particularly love the cranberry and dates combination but we’ve used raisin and chopped apricots with good luck too."

*I just did mine for 45 mins because it was starting to burn on me. Depends on your oven. So just watch carefully!*
