Easy Grain-Free Nut And Seed Granola

Opting for a grain-free trail mix instead of typical oat granola is great for keeping your blood sugar steady all day.

I love a bowl of thick yogurt with berries and a scoop or two of this sweet and salty, nut and seed granola on top.

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 275℉.

  In a small bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds. Set aside.

  Place the coated granola on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle over the dried cherries, coconut flakes, and raisins.

  Press the the mix-ins into the granola, but do not stir. Let it cool completely.
• Once the nut and seed granola has cooled, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and toss everything together to combine.

  Store in a glass jar on the counter for up to 10 days.
