Paraben Free Paleo Nut & Seed Granola

This crunchy, cluster-packed granola is the kind of thing you'll want to keep a jar of on the counter at all times. Four kinds of chopped nuts meet pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds, all toasted together with coconut oil, maple syrup, warm cinnamon, and a hint of ginger — the result is deeply fragrant and satisfying in a way that store-bought versions rarely manage. Parabens are synthetic preservatives that sneak into a surprising number of packaged foods, so making your own granola from whole, unprocessed ingredients is one of the cleanest swaps you can make. Every ingredient here is straightforward and recognizable, with no hidden additives or preservatives to worry about. The low-and-slow bake at 300°F is the real secret — it coaxes out a deep golden color without burning the delicate coconut, and pressing the mixture down before cooling is what creates those satisfying, chunky clusters. Toss in some dried cranberries or raisins at the end for a little chewy sweetness, or keep it as-is for a more savory crunch. Spoon it over coconut yogurt, eat it by the handful, or layer it into a bowl with fresh fruit — however you serve it, it disappears fast.
