Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup raw mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dried fruits (cranberries, raisins)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cereal mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the raw nuts, chia or flaxseeds, unsweetened dried fruits, and coconut flakes until well combined and evenly distributed.
- Add Sweetener: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the dry mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is lightly coated with the natural sweetener.
- Bake: Spread the coated mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cereal is golden brown and fragrant.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cereal to cool completely. Serve with almond milk or yogurt for a delicious Paleo-friendly breakfast.
Notes
- You can customize the mixture by using your favorite nuts and dried fruits as long as they are unsweetened and Paleo-compliant.
- Stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
- Store the cooled cereal in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Use maple syrup for a vegan version; honey for a traditional Paleo option.
- Serving with almond milk or Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein.
