Kid Friendly Paleo Granola Recipe

June 5, 2014 By Emily 19 Comments

 

My son is at the age where he loves to help in the kitchen.  This Paleo granola recipe is a recipe that is really easy and a lot of fun to have kids help with.

"Paleo Breakfast" "Paleo Granola Recipe" "Paleo Food" "Paleo Recipe" "Grain Free Granola"

When I switched to the Paleo diet I found that I had a lot of trouble with finding a really good filling breakfast other than eggs and bacon. I love eggs and bacon, but I could only have that on so many days!  I also missed the crunch of cereal. I used to love eating granola, so I set out to find a good granola recipe.

While I found some good ones out there, (like this tropical paleo granola from Nom Nom Paleo) I wanted something a little more simple that I could make weekly.  So I ended up just mixing and experimenting with my own recipe until it came out how I wanted.

You don’t need to be eating a Paleo diet to enjoy this recipe. It’s a great cereal and it’s also gluten free!

The recipe below is for cereal, but I have also used it to make grain free granola bars for my son. I simply added more honey and coconut oil as well as some more kid friendly ingredients such as chocolate chips.

Check out how my son and I make Paleo Granola!

I like to enjoy mine with fresh seasonal fruit and almond milk.  I love that this is high in good fats and protein.  It keeps me full for hours until I finally get to sit down for lunch! Plus, it’s a great snack for my son without all the extra and unwanted added sugar!

What would you add to your granola?

    This sounds delicious. Healthy and kid-friendly is a bonus. My 9-year old loves to snack on raisins and nuts so she would probably really enjoy this.
