[av_dropcap2 color=”default” custom_bg=”#444444″]P[/av_dropcap2]aleo granola is all the rage these days, especially with busy people and busy families.

It’s just so easy to sprinkle on everything from fresh fruit to coconut milk to your favorite smoothie bowl or even just eat it right out of the bag. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-i7mtxz’]

But that can get a little pricey after awhile so we created one you can easily make at home and take with you on the go.

This granola is reminiscent of a clustery cereal with it’s big hunks of honey ­sweetened nuts, seeds and coconut flakes. And it’s just lightly sweetened but sweet enough to keep you coming back for more.

Prep for this granola is super easy…just 10 ingredients! Add dried cranberries or cherries to the mix if you like.

Kids love this stuff and it’s great for tucking into backpacks and lunchboxes. Little hands love those chunky clusters of goodness, especially when you add a few dried cherries or cranberries to the mix.

This granola will keep in a covered container in the pantry for up to 1 week (if you can keep from eating it all before then) or up to 1 month in the freezer.

  1. Will this work with sun butter? I am doing the whole 30 so honey is not allowed I was wondering if it would still be tasty without it? Thanks!

    1. Terry, I think sun butter would be fine, but less sweet. Let me know how it works out.

  2. This looks really yummy. I’m new to paleo, but I thought granola was not paleo?

    1. Alena, this granola is made with nuts and seeds. No grains or refined sugars. ?
