PALEO GRANOLA
Do you miss the crunch and convenience of cereal sometimes? I sure do!
I made a big batch of this granola and my non-paleo mother raved and raved about it for days. She couldn't believe that it didn't have any grain in it. I am pretty sure she still thinks I am lying. I have lied to her about plenty of things in my life, but I don't lie about paleo. That just ain't right!
This granola is nice to keep around when you need a snack with some protein and fat in it. You can just reach in and grab a handful and you are all set! This is also great in the morning as a cereal with some almond or coconut milk. If you have kids that love cereal, or you are just tired of eating eggs, then this is a simple and easy option. It doesn't take too much time or energy to make and it stores very well in an airtight contain or resealable plastic bag. You can also add nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, etc. to make different flavors of granola.
