Baklava Granola

| BAKLAVA GRANOLA | 🍯 If granola and baklava had a baby..this would be it! This paleo/grain-free granola is packed full of all the traditional Baklava ingredients, minus the delicious filo dough. And I mean…as much as I would love to be 100% paleo, let it be known that…I…..LOVE(and respect)….Filo Dough and would happily accept a piece of real Baklava because it is one of my favorite treats! Life is better with treats anyway..so..🤷‍♀️. If you aren’t following a paleo diet, feel free to lighten this up by adding oats in to the mixture instead of cashews. Everything else should stay! 🙂

Ingredients:
1.5 cups cashews
2.5 cups walnuts
1.5 cups pistachios
2 tbsp grass fed butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
4 tbsp honey
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F
2. Add some of the nuts to a food processor. You will use 1.5 cups cashews, 2 cups walnuts, and 1/2 cup pistachios. Add them to a food processor. Pulse them 5 to 6 times until you have a mix of small and big pieces. Put in a bowl and set aside.
3. Add another 1 cup pistachios and 1/2 cup walnuts to food processor. Pulse until slightly broken down. You want the pistachio chunks to still be visible. Add to the bowl with the rest of the nuts.
4. Melt 2 tbsp butter plus 2 tbsp coconut oil with 4 tbsp honey and 3 tbsp maple syrup. Add to bowls with nuts. Mix completely.
5. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mixture. Mix completely.
6. Bake at 325°F for 23 – 25 minutes..stir twice during the cooking process. Leave on baking sheet to cool.
