Granola for a Paleo Lifestyle

I love this in a bowl with almond milk or straight up out of the ziplock bag. It's the easiest thing in the world to whip up and kills anything you'll buy in the store. It's also way less expensive to make yourself.  Enjoy!

1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup pecans, chopped
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup honey
¼ cup maple syrup
1 cup dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins, or cherries
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325°F.


Add all ingredients, except honey, dried fruit and maple syrup to a large mixing bowl.  Mix well.  Place on a baking sheet (use parchment paper for easy clean up).  Bake for 15 minutes, remove and carefully stir in the syrup and honey.  Return to oven and cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Watch carefully the last 5 minutes so as not to burn.  Remove baking sheet from the oven, mix in dried fruit. Let cool.  Serve and Enjoy!
