Paleo Granola

 1 cup raw almonds

1 cup raw cashews

1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup organic honey

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

pinch of sea salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries

Preheat oven to 275 F. In a food processor or blender, add almonds, cashews, and coconut flakes to chop into small pieces. Do not over blend.

Heat coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt over medium-high heat in a large saucepan, for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Vanilla. Then add seeds, nuts, and coconut flakes and stir to coat.

Spread granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and add dried cranberries, may need to press into granola mixture.

Allow to cool for about 20 minutes or until hardened. Break apart granola. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
