I renamed this the BEST Paleo granola because it is! And I've tried just about all of the packaged ... very pricy ... ones ...
This is easy to make with a food processor and an oven. Much cheaper than ready-made Paleo cereals. And the taste ... divine!
This is almost verbatim from www.theroastedroot.com ... love their recipes!
I serve this with my fruit of choice ... and also varied the dried fruit in the original recipes ... sometimes using raisins and snipped Deglet dates (they're drier than Medjools and mix better). And plain coconut yogurt ... but you can use regular or other types of milk or yogurt. As well as fresh fruit ... I love berries with this. Eat it up FOR REAL!
AuthorJill PlaceThis TERRIFIC paleo granola from theroastedroot.com is great for breakfast (now that I'm doing intermittent fasting I have no use for it) or a snack (I'm AT it!). You can even make it vegan. And it's infinitely cheaper (and much fresher) than what you can buy. Eat it up FOR REAL!
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together egg white with the water until bubbly and slightly foamy in a small bowl.
Add all ingredients, including egg white/water mixture EXCEPT for the cranberries to a food processor. Pulse until well chopped and combined, but leave mixture nice and chunky.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet into an even layer and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden-brown and crispy.
Remove granola from the oven and allow it to sit at least 20 minutes without stirring it ... this is where the clustering happens, so be sure not to skip this step!
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break the granola into clusters (I just do this with my hands).
Once cool, store the granola in a 2-quart sealable glass jar or zip-lock bag.
Eat granola with your favorite non-dairy milk or yogurt and fruit.
* Replace the egg white and water with 1/3 cup unsweetened almond butter to make the recipe vegan.
** Be sure to use fruit-juice sweetened dried cranberries rather than sugar-sweetened.
*** You can also use olive or coconut oil.
**** Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste. I also have used coconut nectar in this ...
Keep an eye on the granola while it is baking as it can go from done to burned quickly. If you use honey instead of maple syrup, you will need to bake for closer to 30 minutes to avoid burning.
Granola can be stored in a zip-lock bag or jar in the refrigerator or up to 2 weeks (that's why I need to halve this recipe as I live alone and the cat doesn't eat it.)

I would love to see the nutrtion
Amounts.. including the fiber,phosphourous,potassium,
sodium,protein.
This sounds yummy.
It IS yummy! And why do you want all that info? Do you have a condition where you need to restrict things? It’s my 30-year experience that … if that’s not the case … all that info can stop you from actually losing weight. Following a Paleo lifestyle actually helps you lose weight because you’re eating just protein and veggies and not alot of carbs. Calories don’t matter. Would love to talk to you about this …
