Energy Boosting Paleo Granola

Energy Boosting Paleo Granola

I’ve been craving granola like crazy lately. Wanting it for breakfast, in the afternoon as a snack, and even for dessert after dinner. I’m telling you, I’ve been needing granola bad. The issue is, Paleo granola is not easy to come by. So in my intense times of cravings, I can’t simply go buy some at the nearest grocery store. I gotta make it.

Sometimes, my cravings are so hard, that I’m pretty sure I’d do right about anything for a generous bowl of it to magically appear right in front of me. A hearty bowl of granola, while being all cozied up in a blanket at home, is extremely comforting to me. Especially when the weather is cold outside. Just like it is now, for example. (Boo! I totally miss my sunshine and hot summer days. I’m literally getting paler by the minute, and…me no like dat. Not one bit.)

I think I recently went five days straight of craving granola and not being able to have it, because I didn’t have any already made at home. And you know what? On the sixth day, I got in my car, went ingredient shopping, turned my oven on to three hundred degrees Fahrenheit and got busy mixing my favorite nuts and seeds. I was salivating the entire time.

One of the toughest parts of making granola, in my opinion, is choosing which nuts and seeds to use for the batch. There are so many delicious ingredient options out there, that choosing a few is no easy feat. For this batch, I chose nuts that are non-inflammatory to my system, like cashews and pecans (unfortunately, almonds and walnuts are very rough on my tummy), and some high protein seeds, like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Yum.

If for some reason you’re intimidated to make your own granola at home, don’t be! You can simply follow this recipe and the process will be easy peasy, as all the ingredients are already chosen for you. I also have this Maple Date Paleo Granola recipe and this Hippie Paleo Granola recipe that you may want to try as well. And since its fall and winter time is coming, I’ll probably be posting more Paleo granola recipes soon to comfort all of us, so stay tuned.

When you make this (you totally should, you’ll love it), make sure you take the baking pan out of the oven every 10 minutes or so in order to mix the ingredients up a bit to keep them from burning. Your granola will turn out beautifully if you do. This is the key.
