sea salt & cashew butter
You guys. Paleo granola! It’s been on my mind for weeks now and today was the day I needed to make it happen. For reals, this granola is my favorite recipe I have made so far! And for three reasons. Ready?
- So crunchy and tasty!! But also has a delightful almost chewy inside when you bite into a big chunk! Goodness.
- This recipe is super low in sugar compared to so many recipes I’ve tried. When I want breakfast, I don’t want a big bowl of sugar (even if it is coconut sugar). This rad recipe doesn’t contain any fruit, because I was aiming to keep it strictly simple. Okay, this is getting a bit long, but another tip on making low sugar/healthy granola. You can exchange the maple syrup in this recipe for my homemade date syrup which makes this recipe 100% whole foods, zero processed ingredients!
- Okay, okay, three. You wouldn’t believe the magic that happens when this crisp and delicious granola dives into a scoop of this coconut yogurt!! Match made in heaven.
- (Let’s just not mention that I actually have four epic reasons why I’m in love with this granola, okay?) This recipe literally was whipped up in less than a few minutes. So, basically, if you are craving granola you won’t need to wait very long until it’s in yo mouth!
eat, work, play, sleep, repeat.
All these sunny days have me on a mean and dialed in summer schedule. Wake up, head to the kitchen. Cooke, bake, snap photos before the lighting is too harsh, then head out into the water for a lax SUP tour of the lake. After paddling around and swimming it’s time to head back and hit the lap top for some hard core blog writing stuff (all that computer jazz that I don’t like to do when it’s glorious and sunny out).
My favorite place in the evenings is on couch with my lap top… or actually, syncing my phone to my keyboard, so I can just type away without looking at a screen, da best!! So much healthier for my eyes. Try it and thank me later.
This routine has been on repeat and so far I’m not board!

Is the calorie count for the whole recipe?
Per serving.
So if I eat 1 serving it’s 690 calories?
Yes.
Two quick questions! One, have you tried making this with honey instead of maple syrup? Two, have you tried using different nuts? Thanks!
Hi Kelly, I haven’t tried honey, but it should work just great! And I’m sure you can easily sub with different nuts if you like- I haven’t personally tried it. 🙂
Am I missing what the serving size is? This sounds divine, but I don’t want to accidentally eat 3 servings instead of 1!
Hi Kaylie! I love the recipe and the bowls are to die for can you please share where to get them? Thanks sooo much!
Hi Vanessa, I wish I remembered where I got them!! Everyone has been asking me that. I think I got them on Etsy…
Actually!! Just looked up the shop in my orders- here it is: https://www.etsy.com/listing/243963889/ice-cream-bowls?ref=shop_home_active_2 These are the bowls in this post.
What is the serving size?
Just under 1/2 cup. 🙂
If I only have black chia seeds on hand is that ok? Also can I use hemp hearts rather than sesame seeds? Thanks!
Yes and yes! That all sounds great!
Love your website, amazing job!! I am dying to try all of your fantastic recipes! I am not new to Paleo (I try to do 80/20) but getting bored of the usual recipes. Yours are fresh and different, can’t wait to experiment with your ideas!
Thank you so much! 🙂
How much is a serving? Looks yummy!
Sorry, I don’t have the exact measurements for each serving.
I just calculated the nutrition facts for this on myfitnesspal and it orginally gave what you put, Kaylie, mostly. I did notice though that it said the cinnamon was something like 200-300 calories and the coconut flakes were 1600 calories or something crazy. I fixed it and I think the serving size calorie count for 6 (1/2 cup or so) servings is more like 360 calories ech which is totally on par with most grain free granolas. Just thought I would share since the original calorie count seems scary!
