Paleo Granola, Sweet and Salty

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 3/4 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, shelled
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, shelled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cashews, almonds, coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds into a blender and pulse to break the mixture into smaller pieces.

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil, vanilla, and honey together for 40-50 seconds. Add in the mixture from the blender and the sunflower seeds, and stir to coat.

3. Spread the mixture out onto the baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until the mixture is lightly browned. Remove from heat. Stir in the dried cranberries and salt.

4. Press the granola mixture together to form a flat, even surface. Cool for about 15 minutes, and then break into chunks. Store in an airtight container or resealable bag.
