21 Paleo Granola Recipes

Cereal is such a convenient breakfast option but traditional cereals that aren’t loaded with sugar, gluten, and additives are few and far between. Store-bought granolas are no different, usually containing plenty of refined sugar, but these paleo granola recipes will let you make delicious, inexpensive, paleo-friendly snacks at home.

Why bother hunting high and low for a paleo granola that will cost you a small fortune, when it’s so simple to make? There are literally hundreds of recipes to choose from, many with different flavors and different types of ingredients to suit your tastes. Most are a case of a little chopping and measuring, and throwing in the oven for 20 minutes or so.

Plus, granola keeps so well, often up to a month if it’s well-sealed (or freeze it for an even longer shelf-life). What are you waiting for?

Mm, apple pie…anyone else missing that? There isn’t actually a huge amount of apple in this recipe, just half a cup of apple sauce (unsweetened, naturally). But when you combine that with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, you really do get that apple pie taste. And that really can’t be beaten!

Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Paleo Granola Cookies

Okay, so we’d heard of granola bars, but granola cookies? Granola now sounds more appealing than ever, doesn’t it? This is a bit of a cheat, because it includes store-bought paleo granola, but it’s a cookie, and we just couldn’t leave it out.

Banana, Date & Walnut Granola

If you’ve never tried dried banana in your granola, do it now. Soooo sweet and crunchy! It really adds something different to the recipe. It’s counteracted well with the savoury nuts and seeds so you don’t have to worry about it being too sweet either.

This isn’t one to miss if you love your food orangey! Not only is the juice of an orange added, but its rind too. The only nuts used are almonds so if you prefer seeds to nuts then you could really enjoy this.

No-Bake, Raw Paleo Granola Bars

As if granola wasn’t easy enough, it just got even simpler. These bars don’t even need to be baked. They’re still crunchy though, because of course they still include the key ingredient nuts. Few seeds though, unusually, except for the butter, but you could always add them if you think you’ll miss them too much!
