Paleo Granola with Coconut and Almonds Recipe

Paleo Granola with Coconut and Almonds Recipe

  • 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
  • 1 cup shelled raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss coconut, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, if using, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a large bowl.
  3. Cook honey, oil, and vanilla in a small pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and easily pourable, about 1 minute. Pour over coconut mixture and stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly on prepared baking sheet and bake, stirring once halfway through, until golden-brown and crisp, about 25 minutes.
  4. Granola can be made 1 week ahead; store tightly covered at room temperature.
