CRANBERRY WALNUT PALEO GRANOLA

This quick and easy cranberry walnut paleo granola is crunchy and naturally sweet – a perfect gluten-free, paleo breakfast or snack.

This easy cranberry walnut paleo granola is crunchy and sweet with a hint of tartness from the cranberries – everything you want in a granola and perfect for a paleo breakfast or snack. Unlike traditional granola, this recipe is grain-free and refined sugar-free. Nuts, seeds and coconut replace the grains and it is sweetened with honey and fruit.

I make this granola often. The recipe is so simple you can make it for breakfast on the weekend and have it ready to grab and go all week. And you can change-up the flavors depending on what you have on hand. Cranberry and walnut is a classic combination I made with ingredients I had in the pantry. I think hazelnut apricot or pistachio date might be next.

This granola makes a healthy gluten-free cereal alternative with dairy-free homemade cashew

milk. I also love it sprinkled on top of applesauce or on its own straight out of the jar. I grab a handful when I'm looking for something crunchy to snack on – it's slightly addictive.
