Hazelnut Free Paleo Nut & Seed Granola
Crunchy, golden, and deeply satisfying, this nut and seed granola is the kind of breakfast that makes you genuinely excited to get out of bed. It's built on a base of almonds, pecans, cashews, and walnuts, layered with pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds, then bound together with coconut oil and maple syrup for a naturally sweet, wholesome cluster. Notably absent from the entire ingredient list is hazelnut in any form — no hazelnut flour, hazelnut oil, or mixed nut blends that might sneak it in — which makes this a genuinely safe and delicious option for anyone navigating that allergy. The warm spice blend of cinnamon and ginger gives every bite a cozy, almost autumnal depth that store-bought granolas rarely manage to pull off. Pressing the mixture firmly before baking and again right out of the oven is the secret to those satisfying, chunky clusters that hold together beautifully. Toss in some dried cranberries or raisins once it's cooled and you've got a topping that works just as well over coconut yogurt as it does eaten straight from the jar. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll be set for the whole week.
