Primal Cereal / Paleo Granola

My wife has started eating Paleo with me, but misses her museli and breakfast cereal so I did a bit of searching and have come up with my own version of Primal Cereal or Paleo granola, which is a combination of these 2 recipes.

Primal Ingredients

3 cups of mixed nuts (chopped in food processor)
3 tblspn of almond slivers
3 tblspn of ground flaxseed / linseed
2 tblspn of sunflower seeds
1 tblspn of almond meal
1 tblspn of pumpkin seedsĀ (pepitas)
1 tsp cinnamon
3 egg whites
1/4 cup raw organic honey
1/2 cup unsweetened dried fruit
3 egg whites

Primal Cooking

1. Preheat oven to 200 deg C / 390 deg F

2. Using about a cup of nuts at a time, use a food processed / blender to process the nuts in a deep or sealed bowl until chunks are at the desired size.

3. Place prepared nuts in a large bowl, and add coconut, and other dry ingredients.

4. In a small, dry bowl, beat egg whites until smooth, glossy peaks form. Add sweetener, and stir thoroughly.

5. Add egg mixture to nuts & coconut, and stir thoroughly until no egg foam is visible and everything has been coated. If you feel the egg didn’t stretch far enough, whip up another white and add that to your bowl. Add the honey.

6. Spoon nut mixture onto bakeware, keeping the layers no thicker than an inch high.

7. Bake in oven for around 10 minutes, or until the top layer starts to become golden.

8. Remove from oven and stir mixture to bring uncooked nuts to the surface and to break apart any lumps. Replace in oven and bake for another 10 or so minutes.

9. Repeat step 8 until the batch is cooked evenly, brown and crunchy.

10. When cooked to your liking, remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly before storing in an air-tight container.
