Our version of granola combines dehydrated nuts, coconut, and fruit. This is our primal version of a breakfast cereal, and also makes for a great snack when you’re on the go.

Notes
This recipe can be scaled to any size you desire. However, if you’re taking the time to do this, you might as well make more rather than less. You may also prefer to split the batch in half to use half for granola and half just for snacking or another future recipe.

Made this last night and I am in love as I enjoy my first bowl with coconut milk. Since going Paleo, I’ve really missed cereal. This is the perfect substitute. I followed the recipe verbatim, except I added a little cinnamon to the pan before putting in the oven. My oven only went down to 170 so I just left the door open and that worked well. I cooked this overnight (8p-8a) and that’s the way I’ll do it next time as well. Thanks for the great recipe!
Just made my second batch of this, it’s a new favorite with the whole family! I am sensitive to walnuts and so skip those in favor of a few more almonds and pecans, and in place of the dates and raisins, I use a mixture of chopped dried dates, figs, apricots and cranberries. It’s so delicious and unbelievably filling, a must have for quick snacks and small meals!
I made this granola and it is very hard to keep my hands out of it! Very tasty!
I am just about to make the switch to Paleo and this looks like a great alternative to cereal…but I have an electric stove and that’s a lot of time with it running. Would a regular dehydrator work instead?
