Homemade Paleo Granola (paleo, low carb, vegan)

May 11, 2017 by Dafna

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Nothing beats homemade granola and this healthy paleo is one you must try! So easy to make and so much better than store bought. This better-for-you granola is paleo-friendly, low carb, and vegan!

Is Make Your Own Granola Worth It?

Every morning I make my guy his lunch. It’s usually more or less the same thing with some variety mixed in here and there. Whatever is seasonal for his fruit cup, a sandwich, a snack, an energy bar, and whatever else I’ve baked up over the weekend. Although he says it’s unnecessary, I get immense joy from it because I know he’s eating good healthy food to fuel is demanding job and it’s the perfect excuse to make homemade goodies!

One of the more recent additions to the snack rotation is a yogurt cup. Either yogurt (only with dairy from grass fed cows) or coconut yogurt with granola, fruit, and maybe some hemp hearts as toppings.
So I’ve come up with this Paleo Granola to adorn his creamy delicious mid-morning snack. Although he is by no means Paleo and consumes his fair share of carbs and gluten, he was never really a fan of oatmeal. So this granola is right up his alley. And in my effort to reduce his gluten consumption I made this recipe gluten free, naturally sweetened with coconut sugar to avoid blood sugar spikes, high in healthy fats from the nuts and seeds and coconut oil for stable energy.

And seriously when you bake this up your whole freakin house will smell amazing. Wins all around for this awesome granola.
