Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the granola mixture.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- Dehydrate at a low temperature to preserve nutrients and maintain the raw quality of the granola.
- Check the granola periodically to make sure it doesn't over-dry; it should be crisp but not too brittle.
- Store your dehydrated granola in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
Enjoy your Paleo dehydrated chocolate 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!
