Dig into this crunchy Keto Granola packed with energy-boosting vitamins and healthy fats.
This Paleo-friendly granola is a snack you can munch on throughout the day or use as a crunchy topping for fruit bowls and keto desserts. Its all-natural ingredients pack in plenty of heart-healthy fats for added energy.
The base of this keto-approved recipe is made from hazelnuts, macadamias, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. These low-carb nuts and seeds are coarsely pulsed to combine with flax meal and water, creating a gel-like substance to help the granola stick together. Lightly sweetened with vanilla, cinnamon, and shredded coconut, this recipes produces a semi-sweet flavor that packs the same crunch you’d get with traditional oats.

To begin making your granola, pulse your nuts and seeds in a high-quality blender. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add in remaining ingredients. Mix together and transfer to a prepared baking sheet to bake for 20 minutes. Then, toss the mixture and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
Once the granola is finished baking, it’s important to let it sit on the baking sheet for another 20 minutes at room temperature. This will allow it to set and harden, allowing you to break it apart into small, bite-sized clusters. Enjoy munching on them right away or preserve them in covered Mason jars for up to 30 days in the refrigerator (60 days in the freezer).
