No-Sweet Paleo Granola

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
  • 2 tbsp. of Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • ½ cup Pecans
  • ½ cup Walnuts
  • ½ cup Macadamia nuts
  • 2 small green apples chopped (peel it if you like)
  • Salt to taste

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 300.
 
Break/Chop the nuts.
 
As a time and money saver I use a piece of plywood, ziplock bag and a hammer to break up all the nuts. Pre-chopped nuts are much more expensive, I also do this because I like a few whole nuts in my granola.
 
In a large mixing bowl pour in the metaled coconut oil, add in the cinnamon and stir until blended. Add in the shredded coconut, nuts and chopped apple.
 
Stir until everything is well coated. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet and spread it out. Sprinkle a pinch or two of salt over the granola and place it in the oven.
 
Stir it every 5-7 min until done. It is very easy to burn the granola, so keep your eye on it.
 
Take it out of the oven and let it cool. Portion out servings into small zip lock bags so they are ready to go when you are!
