Grain Free Maple Nut Granola

We’ve been purchasing the most AH-MAZING Organic Raw Milk Yogurt from our local buying club and I couldn’t resist making up some homemade granola to mix in it! Salty & Sweet my Maple Nut Granola is Paleo & GAPS Diet Friendly – Grain & Gluten Free – Not only it is HEALTHY but it’s seriously the BEST Granola I’ve ever tasted – I Swear – It’s totally addictive just as a sweet treat on it’s own but even better in raw milk, coconut milk or my favorite mixed into raw milk yogurt! You can either bake or dehydrate the granola – I’ve made it both ways 🙂

• Allow to cool completely then transfer to an air tight container.

Notes

* nuts are healthiest when soaked overnight in filtered water then drained and dehydrated prior to eating, However this recipe will work fine without soaking your nuts first.
