Grain Free Granola — Isabella Gambuto

Eating healthy is expensive! So I thought I'd start sharing recipes for basic snacks I try and make every week or so to keep my pantry stocked with healthy and affordable options - starting with my paleo grain free granola! I bought some grain free granola at Whole Foods recently and it was $12/Lbs! - That's ridiculous! For a small upfront investment I can buy bulk nuts and seeds and have enough ingredients to make at least four batches of this recipe. Recipe yields about 5 cups and lasts about two weeks stored in a jar or Tupperware. You can also switch up the nuts and seeds to your preference! Here's what you need:
