Keto Granola Ingredients

The base of our keto granola is tons on nuts and seeds that are rich in Omega-3s and other healthy fats. Then we’ll add unrefined coconut oil that helps everything stick together and makes granola crunchy.

• Nuts & Seeds – We’ll use a delicious combo of almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, shredded coconut, and sesame seeds.
• Unrefined Oil – Coconut oil makes the granola crispy and helps everything stick together while giving a subtle coconutty taste.
• Sweetener – I used an Erythritol based sweetener (such as Swerve), and I noticed it makes granola so crunchy if left overnight. Xylitol (toxic to dogs) is a great way to sweeten this granola too. So, use what you have on hand.
• Maple & Brown Sugar Liquid Stevia – A few drops go a long way and add that fantastic brown sugar taste. If you can’t find this replace the sweetener with Sukrin Gold – soo good!
• Cinnamon & Vanilla & Salt – My favorite flavors to add! Not only that cinnamon is delicious but is a powerhouse of antioxidants. You can try other flavor combos such as pumpkin spice, ginger, and lemon.

How to Make Keto Granola?

Toast the Nuts

Using a sharp knife, chop the nuts into smaller pieces. Toast the nuts for about 5 minutes or until fragrant and golden brown.

Prepare the Granola Mix

In a large bowl, mix all toasted nuts, seeds, melted coconut oil, a few drops of maple liquid stevia or your favorite sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Bake the Keto Granola

Evenly spread the mixture out onto a large pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 30-35 minutes at 350F /180C. Keep an eye on the keto granola from minute 20 as nuts and seeds tend to burn faster.

Allow To Cool

Let the granola completely cool. Wait at least 30 minutes (best overnight) before breaking up into your desired size.

Add your mix-ins (optional). This is the step where you can add sugar-free chocolate chips, toasted coconut chips, or any other spices that cross your mind.

So finally, enjoy it! Serve gluten-free granola right away and store the leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Keto Granola Tips

• Make sure you line your baking tray with parchment paper, so your nuts and seeds roast beautifully without sticking to the pan.
• If you want to get big crunchy clumps, gently press down the granola with the back of a spatula and bake.
• After it’s fully baked and cooled down, break it down into pieces using your hands.
• Don’t overbake the granola – wait until they are lightly golden and smell incredibly tasty.
• Spread the granola evenly in the tray so it’ll bake evenly.

How To Store Low Carb Granola Recipe

This paleo low carb granola cereal recipe stores perfectly in the pantry. Here’s how to keep this sugar-free breakfast cereal crunchy and delicious:

To store the leftover keto granola, place it in an airtight container and store it in a cool dark place. It stays super crispy and is perfect to serve with unsweetened almond milk. Make sure it’s properly sealed so the granola doesn’t get soft.

You can store it in the fridge or freezer, but there’s no need. However if you prefer to freeze keto granola, place it in a container and freeze for up to 6 months.

How To Serve

Sometimes I love to snack on this keto granola because it’s crunchy and versatile. But here are some of my favorite ways to serve:

• Yogurt Parfaits – use as a topping for keto yogurt for a filling breakfast.
• Smoothies – add nutty low carb granilla on top of strawberry smoothie or this triple berry smoothie for some extra fiber and crunch!
• Serve instead of the sugary breakfast cereal with a glass of unsweetened milk.
• Mix a handful of granola next time you make a loaf of keto banana bread or keto blueberry bread.
• Serve as it is for a simple, quick keto snack.
