A simple Paleo Granola made of almonds, seeds, shredded coconut and lathered in coconut oil and honey. A nutty and seedy homemade snack that's irresistible and seriously addicting! Gluten Free + Paleo

A super simple Paleo Granola made of almonds, seeds, shredded coconut and lathered in coconut oil and honey. A nutty and seedy snack that's irresistible and seriously addicting!

I really need to start writing down my recipes. I'm usually good about jotting them down in my notes app while I'm making them or updating them in an excel file I use for drafting recipes BUT lately that really hasn't been happening.

Actually not so much lately, more like a bad habit I picked up around the holidays when life was crazy and I was still recovering from a fractured tibia.

Now two months later, I go to post this Paleo Granola thinking the recipe's already there waiting for me in my drafts with the photos.

However, I'm left scratching my head wondering where I wrote down the recipe and looking at the photos knowing I could do this delectable Paleo Granola a lot more justice! I swear if I didn't have a blog I'd have no idea what's in anything.

SOOOOOO friends that meant I had to make this Paleo Granola not one, but three more times to make sure I got everything just right and to get the very best shots too. Not that I really minded though. This grain free granola is ridiculously delicious!

The truth is I had to make it so many times because I kept sneaking bites here and there while I was shooting. That's one of the hazards of food blogging by the way. Then Mom had been sneaking see too and suddenly there was nothing left to shoot. It's THAT addicting!

But who am I kidding? I didn't mind! In fact, I'd gladly make this mouthwatering granola a thousand times over if it meant getting another bite of this crunchy, honey lathered, nutty, seedy granola because this grain free Paleo Granola is simply irresistibly good!

Paleo Granola

Even if you're not Paleolithic and feeling reluctant about venturing away from your precious oats, (which believe me I fully understand!), you need to give this a try. It's the perfect balance of nuts and seeds mixed in coconut oil and lightly sweetened with honey.

The best part is it takes only 25 minutes in the oven and you get the satisfaction of knowing you're not eating any weird additives or hidden sugar like you find in many of the store bought kinds.

This is a great healthy granola snack to have on hand to sprinkle on yogurt, salads, smoothies or to snack on right out of the bag. This stuff is so good, I may start selling it myself!  I wonder what other good recipes I'll find missing?

    This recipe is awesome! I used raw unblanched almonds and added 1.5 cup of rolled oats. So yummy!

    Have you tried this with almond milk poured over or tried it without the honey?

    This looks great. Can I eliminate the coconut? I don't like the texture. What would be a good substitute? Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Tracy, you can eliminate the coconut. You shouldn't need to add anything to replace it. It just may be a little less sweet.

      Exactly why I pre-portion everything. I have no self control!

    Ah this sounds amazing!! I just had some of Blissful Eats paleo granola and it WAS AMAZING. It makes me want to try my hand at oat-free granola for sure.

    And I know what you mean about writing down recipes! A couple months ago I was really bad, and then this past month I got a new notebook dedicated to just recipes, so now I am good! 😀

      Maybe I should get a book. That seems to be what works for you and others. I usually type it on the computer, but then again when my hands are full of honey or muffin batter that's not always an option!
