One thing I really miss eating on a whole food diet is a bowl of crunchy cereal with cold milk. I'm so glad to have found a healthy, satisfying alternative. My husband LOVES this cereal. He even said it tastes better than his beloved Honey Nut Cheerios. It seems like every time I turn around I'm making a new batch, because it goes so quickly! It has quickly become a breakfast staple in our house! We love it  with almond or coconut milk. Delish!


Nut Granola Breakfast Cereal

1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw pecans
1 cup raw walnuts
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened dried blueberries
1/2 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
1/4 cup hemp hearts
1/4 cup ground flax
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup water




Preheat oven to 300°

Coarsely chop the nuts by hand or with a food processor. (If using food processor, process eat nut separately)

Put chopped nuts in a large bowl. Add the chia seeds, dried fruit, hemp hearts, flax, coconut, honey, maple syrup, and water.

Mix until all ingredients until well moistened.

Place nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 45 minutes or until nuts are brown, stirring nuts around every 15 minutes.
