Artificial Flavors Free Paleo Nut & Seed Granola
Most store-bought granolas are loaded with natural and artificial flavoring agents that can be hard to trace and even harder to pronounce. This version keeps things refreshingly straightforward — every ingredient on the list is exactly what it sounds like, from raw almonds and pumpkin seeds to maple syrup and ground cinnamon. The flavor comes entirely from real food: toasty nuts, warming spice, and a touch of coconut that gets beautifully golden in the oven. Pressing the mixture firmly onto the pan before baking is the secret to those satisfying, chunky clusters that hold together once cooled. The low-and-slow 300°F bake coaxes out deep, nutty richness without scorching, and the whole kitchen smells incredible by the time it's done. A handful over yogurt, eaten dry by the fistful, or layered with fresh fruit — it works every way you try it. Once you have a jar of this on the counter, reaching for a packaged alternative just stops making sense.
