I missed cereal

So, I am not going to lie one of the things I really missed when I started eating paleo was cereal. I don't know what it is about it but I could eat a bowl of Cheerios and milk at any time of the day. I tried several granola recipes and liked them but then I got The Make it Paleo cook book for Christmas and found this recipe. It is by far my favorite granola so far. It does take some time but it is well worth it. I eat it with almond milk and it is SO tasty.

Grain - free granola

Ingredients
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pecans
1 cup raw walnuts
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup raw sliced almonds
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 cup chopped medjool dates
1 cup raisins

Process

1. Soak nuts and seeds in warm water and a tablespoon of salt overnight for 10-12 hours
2. Drain and spread onto a baking sheet
3. Set oven temperature at 110 degrees, and dehydrate for 10-12 hours ( if your lowest setting is higher than 110 leave the oven door slightly ajar.)
4. Coarsely chop dehydrated nuts and place in a large bowl.
5. Mix in shredded coconut, chopped dates, and raisins.
6. Toss lightly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
7. Serve granola with unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk.
8. Store any excess in an airtight container.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
