Paleo dehydrated granola with strawberries

This Paleo dehydrated granola with strawberries is a delicious and nutritious snack that's perfect for those following a Paleo diet. Packed with nuts, seeds, and a hint of natural sweetness, this granola is grain-free and refined sugar-free.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Nuts and Seeds:
- Preheat your oven to the lowest setting or prepare a food dehydrator.
- In a food processor, pulse the pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts until they are roughly chopped into small pieces. Avoid over-processing to prevent the nuts from turning into a paste.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, salt, cinnamon, stevia leaf sweetener, and flaxseed. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a small saucepan, melt the almond butter over low heat until it becomes runny.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the melted almond butter, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
4. Mix Everything Together:
- Pour the almond butter-maple syrup mixture over the nuts and seeds mixture. Stir thoroughly to make sure all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
5. Add Strawberries:
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the granola mixture.
6. Dehydrate:
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a non-stick dehydrator tray or a parchment-lined baking sheet if using an oven.
- If using a dehydrator, dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for about 8-12 hours, or until the granola is completely dry and crunchy.
- If using an oven, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at the lowest temperature (usually around 170°F or 75°C) for about 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even drying.
7. Cool and Store:
- Once the granola is fully dehydrated and crunchy, remove it from the dehydrator or oven and let it cool completely.
- Break the granola into desired-sized chunks and store it in an airtight container.

Enjoy your Paleo dehydrated granola with strawberries as a snack by itself or sprinkle it over your favorite yogurt or smoothie bowl. It's a crunchy and satisfying way to fuel your body with wholesome ingredients!

Paleo dehydrated granola with strawberries FAQ:

What is the ideal baking time for dehydrating the granola in the oven?

The granola should be baked at the lowest temperature (around 170°F or 75°C) for about 4-6 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even drying.

How can I tell if the granola is fully dehydrated and crunchy?

The granola is fully dehydrated when it is dry to the touch and has a crunchy texture. If it feels sticky or soft, it needs more drying time.

Can I substitute the nuts in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute other nuts or seeds based on your preference. Just ensure they are Paleo-friendly and adjust quantities as needed.

How should I store the dehydrated granola?

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for several weeks if kept away from moisture.

What is the best way to incorporate fresh strawberries without adding too much moisture?

Add the strawberries gently after mixing the wet and dry ingredients, and ensure they are evenly distributed to prevent clumping and moisture retention.

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to chop the nuts roughly before mixing, so they are easier to blend with the other ingredients.

- Spread the mixture evenly on the dehydrator trays to ensure uniform drying.

- Check the granola periodically to make sure it doesn't over-dry; it should be crisp but not too brittle.
