BHA & BHT Free Paleo Nut & Seed Granola

Crunchy, golden, and packed with four kinds of nuts plus a trio of seeds, this granola is the kind of breakfast that makes you actually excited to get out of bed. Store-bought granola is one of those sneaky products where synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT tend to hide in the ingredient list — often tucked into the oils or added to extend shelf life. Making it from scratch with whole, raw ingredients means you know exactly what's going into every cluster. Coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting here, binding everything together and caramelizing beautifully in a low, slow oven until the coconut is toasted at the edges and the nuts are deeply fragrant. The trick of pressing the mixture flat before baking — and again right when it comes out — is what gives you those satisfying, chunky clusters instead of a loose, crumbly mess. A whisper of cinnamon and ginger rounds out the flavor without overpowering the natural richness of the nuts. Stir in dried cranberries or raisins once it's cooled and you've got a pantry staple that works over yogurt, with milk, or eaten straight from the jar by the handful.
