Easy Paleo Granola with Almonds & Coconut
By Jess Case
Start by grinding almonds, pecans, and cashews in a food processor until roughly chopped. You can also do this step by hand, or buy them already in pieces to cut back on prep time. Mix with shredded or flaked coconut, flax meal, and pumpkin spice. Set aside.
Next, warm coconut oil, raw honey, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk until combined, then pour it over the nuts and mix until evenly moistened. Bake for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to turn the granola and bake another 10 minutes. Be sure to let your pumpkin spice granola cool for at least 15 minutes for maximum crunchiness!
You can enjoy it by the handful, or serve with a splash of your favorite non-dairy milk and top with apple slices, fresh banana, or even pear slices.
Store your pumpkin spice granola for up to two weeks in a tight-lidded Mason jar or Tupperware container.
Tips:
- Don’t have pumpkin spice on hand? Make your own quick blend with 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, then add a half teaspoon of allspice.
- The amount of sweetener in this recipe is small enough to meet TRUEPALEO™ qualifications. If you’re watching your blood sugar and want to skip the added sweetener, you can use an extra quarter cup of nut butter instead of the raw honey.
