Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, ensuring they are roughly chopped into similar-sized pieces. If the nuts are whole, use a food processor or knife to break them into smaller chunks.
- Add the shredded coconut to the bowl with the mixed nuts, spreading it evenly throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle the chia seeds over the nut and coconut mixture, gently stirring to distribute them evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the honey mixture over the nut and seed blend, using a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly coat all ingredients. Ensure every piece is lightly covered with the sweet, spiced honey.
- Transfer the granola mixture to an airtight storage container or mason jar, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate the granola for at least 30 minutes to allow the honey to help bind the ingredients and enhance the flavors.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. The granola can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days.
Tips
- Nut Selection Matters: Choose a mix of nuts like almonds, pecans, and walnuts for maximum flavor and nutritional variety.
- Chop Consistently: Ensure your nuts are roughly the same size for even coating and a uniform texture.
- Honey Hack: Use raw, local honey for the best flavor and potential added health benefits.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add extras like dried berries or dark chocolate chips after chilling for extra excitement.
- Storage Wisdom: Always use an airtight container and store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy over coconut yogurt, with almond milk, or as a topping for smoothie bowls for a protein-packed breakfast.
