No Grain-ola Recipe – Paleo Granola

No Grain-ola Recipe – Paleo Granola

I have made a few batches of granola (muesli) recently but this time I wanted to try a no-grain version for something different. I set about creating a no grain-ola recipe on a wintery weekend morning, it left the apartment smelling divine!

The beauty of this recipe is that you can swap out or add in anything you like, don’t like walnuts – replace them with more cashews. Pumpkin seeds make you want to gag? Replace them with more sunflower seeds.

Essentially you want two cups of nuts and 1 cup of seeds – how you make these up is completely up to you, your pantry and your taste buds.

No Grain-ola Recipe - Paleo Granola

I really wanted to add some hazelnuts to the no grain-ola recipe as I absolutely love hazelnuts! I made sure we purchased some in our shopping the day before.

Handy Hint: The small pams packets of nuts in the baking aisle (they definitely have them at pak n save, you may need to check other supermarkets) that are 70g are exactly half a cup! Grab any four packets any your good to go.

I really enjoyed this no grain-ola recipe, it was super easy to make and was nice and crunchy. For me there is nothing worse than having soggy muesli, I just can’t get excited about it at all no matter how nice it looks.

To make it a little bit more decadent you could add a few dark chocolate chips to your ramekin of no grain-ola 😉 I did and it was incredible!

Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cup Almonds
  • 1/2 Cup Cashews
  • 1/2 Cup Walnuts
  • 1/2 Cup Hazlenuts
  • 1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Seasame Seeds
  • 1.5 Cups Shredded Coconut (or Coconut Chips)
  • 1/4 Cup LSA (Optional)
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • 1.5 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 cap vanilla essence
Instructions
  1. Turn the oven on to approx 180 degrees Celsius.
  2. Heat the honey, coconut oil and vanilla essence slowly on the stove.
  3. Add all your nuts to a bag and crush lightly to break up a bit (or blitz for a few seconds in the food processor).
  4. Add the nuts and all the other ingredients to an oven tray – or two.
  5. Pour over the coconut oil/honey mixture and mix through the nut/seed mixture.
  6. Pop the trays into the oven for 10 minutes – keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t brown up too much and burn (will depend on your oven).
  7. Take out of the oven and let it cool before popping into a container.
Notes
You can use any type of nuts you like just make it up to two cups, I like having a variety but you might just want cashews for example or only two different choices of nuts.

Note: This no grain-ola recipe is full of nuts and seeds as well as coconut which are all very high in fat. You will only need a small serving to fill you up!

This no grain-ola recipe is grain free, refined sugar free, paleo and vegan (sub the honey for agave nectar) so most people can eat this with no issues! #Winning
