Paleo Granola

                                 Paleo Granola

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut chips
!/2 cup unsweetened Grated coconut
1/3 cup cacao nibs
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup extra virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon ground cake spices w/ pinch black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Zest of an organic lemon

1 pound and 2 ounces mixed:  hazelnuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, cashews

Directions:

Preheat oven to 320*F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor or blender, and process using short pulses until roughly chopped, stirring every few pulses, for even chopping.  The goal is to have bigger and smaller bits.  Pour into a mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir vigorously until well combined.  Pay particular attention to the honey and coconut oil: they will tend to remain as individual wads, and you need to coax them into mingling with the other ingredients.

Pour out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every ten minutes, until golden brown.

Let the granola cool completely on the sheet -- it will crisp as it cools -- then transfer to an airtight container.  It will keep for 3 weeks at cool room temperature or a couple of months in the refrigerator.
