Keyword: coconut, grainfree, granola, lowcarb, paleo, primal
Servings: 8

Equipment

  • 1 Half Sheet Pan
  • 1 Sheet of baking parchment optional but recommended

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cup Coconut Shreds
  • 1/2 Cup Walnut Pieces Add more if you wish
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Powdered vanilla extract Optional but recommended
  • 1-2 tsp Cinnamon The best you can find - or use your favorite pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice not necessary if you use pumpkin pie spice - it's already in there
  • 1 pinch mineral salt just a teeny bit!
  • 1-2 tbsp Allulose syrup or Honey Or your favorite alternative liquid/syrup sweetener
  • 1/2 Cup Raisins or chopped dried fruit Optional - leave out or use less if you're keeping this low carb

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
  • Add a sheet of baking parchment to the baking sheet
  • Add the coconut shreds and walnuts to the baking sheet
    Bag of Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flakes
  • Drizzle the coconut and walnuts with the melted coconut oil, mix well so that everything has a thin coating
  • Spread the mixture out on the sheet so that it's in a near single layer.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 5 minutes, then check and stir. If not golden yet, put back in the oven and check again in minute intervals. This stuff gets overcooked FAST. Don't walk away!
  • When golden, put the mixture in a large bowl and drizzle with the liquid sweetener of your choice, mix well.
    Sweetener Examples: Allulose or Honey
  • Evenly sprinkle the mixture with the spices and mix well again
    Powdered Vanilla and Cinnamon
  • Wait for the mixture to cool then store in a well sealed container. Try not to eat it all during this step.
