Grain-Free Paleo One Pan Granola, 3 Ways (Sugar-free & Nut-free)

recently had a client who was allergic to gluten and nuts, plus she was a diabetic and wanted to stay away from any added sugars. When we were creating recipes together, I asked her what was the one food she most missed with her recently diagnosed food restrictions? “Yogurt with Granola,” she said.

Simple Cashew Cheese
