EASY GRAIN-FREE PALEO SNACK
Homemade granola is one of our favorite healthy snacks to make on the weekend. It all started years ago with this carrot cake granola and I love switching up the flavors to keep things fun. .
Now that I am on a mostly grain-free lifestyle due to my autoimmune issues, I’ve been rotating between batches of our popular keto granola recipe and this paleo granola recipe. Even my kids who are not on a grain-free diet love it just as much as a an oat-based granola.
It’s full of big crunchy clusters and is grain-free, gluten free, sugar free and made without any “real” oats.
WHY MAKE YOUR OWN GRANOLA AT HOME?
Most people think that making your own grain free granola at home is hard, but it really couldn’t be easier. Crunchy homemade granola is the perfect snack for meal prep since you can bake up a big batch for the week. Then in the morning, just pour what you need into a bowl with your favorite toppings.
Or if you’re in a rush, pack some up in a portable container for a simple grab-and-go breakfast.
This healthy granola recipe is made without oats, so you can finally enjoy a bowl of crunchy grain free granola for breakfast or an afternoon snack when you’re craving it on a cozy January morning.
WHERE CAN YOU BUY PALEO GRANOLA?
You can now buy paleo granola at Costco, Amazon, Whole Foods and various other healthy food stores. Sure they are more convenient but that also means they are usually much more expensive and a lot higher in sugar and carbs than if you made your own batch.

- COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, combine one cup unsweetened coconut flakes with all the nuts, seeds, sweetener, spices & salt.
- MIX WET INGREDIENTS: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, egg white & vanilla extract. Pour over nut/seed/coconut mixture and stir until moistened & combined.
- TRANSFER GRANOLA TO PAN: Spread mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and pat down flat with a spatula or your clean hands.
- BAKE: Bake in preheated oven for 25 – 30 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through. (DO not stir granola while baking).
