Grain-free Granola

Makes 10 servings (~1⁄2 cup each)

One of the biggest questions I get is “What can I have instead of cereal?” Yes, if you’re following my approach, conventional breakfast cereal is off the table. My recipe for grain-free granola gives you the satisfaction of a crunchy, lightly sweet “cereal” without the refined grains.

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted

• 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes

• 1 cup sliced almonds

• 1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts (or

  combination)

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds, whole

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
