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!
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.
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?

I can relate, just when I think I have a system down I don’t and when things get crazy I sometimes drop the ball. I hate having a bunch complete but not written yet, which happens frequently as I like to have a stash of posts just in case which for me is great and has been a life saver more than once. Yep month long trip to Ireland, home remodeling with no kitchen, and not back to back trips next month where I will be gone for 16 days, home for a day in between to unpack and repack. Than another short trip in April. It’s going to call for a lot of planning I think but I also had the idea with things being so busy now to make and note recipes and write posts and do photos during down time on the 2nd trip but thinking maybe I should just relax. Haha!
LOVE everything about this granola! Thank you for linking up and sharing it with us for Meatless Monday! Pinned and can’t wait to make it.
I know what you mean about the “working ahead.” I try to work a few months ahead so I have things ready to go, but that’s how I get in trouble because I forget to write things down and then by the time I get around to writing up the recipe I’m scratching my head. There are pros and cons to doing it both ways, but for me that’s just what works best.
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to try a more paleo-ish granola- this looks so delish!!
Thanks Laura!
This does look super addicting! I would love to add this to my greek yogurt in the morning, yum!
It’s good on pancakes too!
I’m old school and write my recipes down on paper, lol. But notebook is a scribbled mess and I make mistakes all the time because of it! I haven’t lost one yet (knock on wood) but I’d be okay if it meant remaking this granola too. It sounds so good and I love how simple the ingredient list is!
Oh my goodness, I can’t remember the last time I wrote down a recipe. If it’s not on the computer, it will get lost in pill somewhere. I’m not good with organizing paper stuff. Kudos to you!
I love the simplicity of this recipe! I’ve been off granola for years, but have been thinking about it lately as an addition to smoothie bowls. This grain free alternative would be the perfect thing – I’m going to put it on next week’s food prep list. I hope you had a great weekend!
Let me know how you like it Jill!
Ooh easy and yummy! Thanks for joining us for meatless Monday today. Have a great week
You too Deborah!
You know how much I love granola! It has gotten me through many a marathon training, lol. I’ve been less than impressed with teh Paleo granolas I’ve tried thus far, but you know that I trust you!
Yeah, I’ve tried a couple I didn’t like either which is why I ended up making my own. This stuff you will like. Guaranteed!
Mmm yea, super seeds! Great little topping for some baked goodies too 😉
Oh, I didn’t even think of that. I’ll be trying it. Thanks for the idea! 😉
Granola really is addicting, I’ll love this, I’m sure!
Yes! Let me know if you give it a try.
I’m a total granola addict, so I’m excited to give your Paleo version a try. It looks simple and delicious!!
Thanks Blair!
