Paleo Granola

I’ve been working on my granola for a while to make sure I post the best possible version and this version I’m absolutely happy with. Growing up my breakfast and afterschool snack was yogurt with granola and strawberries and while at uni it got even worse it passed as breakfast/lunch and sometimes even dinner. When I started going paleo and stopped eating yogurt I naturally also stopped eating granola, but in the past few years there are so many dairy and lactose free options when it comes to yogurt that finding the right granola suddenly became important again.

 As with most other stuff I prefer making my own because I control exactly what I put in it and can adjust every time based on what I feel like having. The recipe below is my standard granola recipe that has a lot of room to play around with. It asks for 2½ cup of mixed nuts and how you fill that in is completely up to you, my personal favorite is 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of pecans and ½ cup of cashews. Once it’s cooled down from the oven, you could also add dried fruits or dark chocolate chips to it. As you can see the possibilities are endless. Let me know how you get creative with your granola below in the comments.
