The best, super clustery, paleo chocolate granola! Made with a mixture of nuts and seeds for a grain free crunch to add to smoothies, yogurt bowls, or for grab-and-go snacking!
I absolutely love some good granola- especially homemade. It’s honestly so easy to make, there’s no need to buy store bought! It’s a quick mix of nuts and seeds, then a coating of coconut oil, honey, and cacao for a rich chocolatey flavor.
This granola is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.Plus, it’s made with simple ingredients!
This recipe packs fiber, healthy fats, plant-based protein, and prebiotics from the nuts and seeds. So good!
Tip: be sure to allow the granola to completely cool. I know it’s hard to wait, but you want that perfect crunchy, clustery texture!
I’m all about a good crunch factor, especially on top of my smoothies! It makes a smoothie more satisfying, and adds healthy fats to make it more filling. Win win!

THE BEST GRANOLA! Made this without the buckwheat groats as well and it was soooo delicious still. A really yummy and simple treat to make yourself/your family! I ate this on its own with almond milk (a great ‘cereal’ type substitute if you struggle to find actual cereal you can eat haha) and I put it in my yogurt or even on ice cream would be delicious.
Granola looks delicious! What do you recommend subbing the buckwheat groats for? I don’t have any on hand. Thank you!
Amazing! Didn’t think I’d like it with all of the different nuts but it is seriously delicious.

I made it without buckwheat groats since I didn’t have any on hand and I substitute the cashews with pecans. It was delicious! Thank you, Mia!
