Paleo Granola

This post is for all my friends at Velocity Park City who just started their Paleo Challenge! Hopefully the granola will help satisfy your “crunchy” cravings.

Ingredients:

2 cups raw almonds

1 cup sunflower seed, unsalted and hulled

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

¼ cup raw honey, warmed up if necessary to make it easier to mix

¼ tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¾ tsp ground nutmeg

4 Tbs ground flax seed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and coconut flakes in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is coarse with a few chunks. Place mixture into a large bowl and mix in remaining ingredients.

Place mixture on a large baking sheet and flatten to about ½ inch thick.

Bake for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and stir. Place back in oven and bake until golden brown throughout, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
