Paleo Granola x2

This is such a great snack to have at work, in the car and stashed at the house.  Shout Out to Stephen @ Company Cafe for the recipe below!!!  And if your from Dallas and haven't been there yet- you must go eat there- companycafe.net- It's DELISH!!


1 1/2 cups almond meal
1 cup crushed almonds or almond silvers
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup coconut
3 tablespoons grape seed oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla


Mix all ingredients together & spread on a cookie sheet.  Bake @ 350 for about 25 minutes stirring every 6 minutes so it gets toasted evenly


It's 2 for 1 day today....  This Paleo Granola recipe was found on a Crossfit website and has some additions that was not in the above recipe, so I thought I shared two today.

  • 5 cups- slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, pecans, and sunflower seeds; you can use whatever you want, but make sure you use at least 2 – 3 cups slivered almonds, as these take the place of what is normally oats
  • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup or any other Paleo-approved sweetener)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Mix honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a boil on the stove. Let it cool. Spread the nuts and seeds out on a greased baking sheet and pour the cooled honey mixture over the top. Mix it around to get everything covered, and bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Allow the pan to cool slightly and then put the mixture into a bowl. Mix in raisins and coconut, and enjoy!
