Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled coconut flakes
- 1 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your granola cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of rolled coconut flakes, 1 cup of chopped almonds, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the 1/4 cup of honey. This will make it easier to mix with the dry ingredients. Stir occasionally until it becomes liquid but do not bring it to a boil.
- Once the honey is warmed, remove it from the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well to combine the flavors.
- Pour the honey and cinnamon mixture over the nut and coconut mixture in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure it is in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; it should be golden brown when done.
- Once the granola is baked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet. The granola will become crunchier as it cools.
- While the granola is cooling, wash and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Set them aside for serving.
- Once the granola has completely cooled, break it into clusters and store it in an airtight container if not serving immediately.
- To serve, place a generous amount of the grain-free granola in a bowl and top it with the sliced strawberries. Enjoy your delicious Paleo-friendly breakfast or snack!
