After living the keto lifestyle for about a year, I found myself craving granola. I searched for a granola that was low carb and tried a few paleo ones I could find.
The ones I found were still very high in carbs as they all still had some form of dried fruit in them. They were also extremely expensive so it prompted me to create my own.
It is super simple to make, stores easily in the cupboard in an airtight container and is great to have on hand when you are craving a crunchy topping for a dessert.
Nut and Seed Granola
Nuts
You can use any nuts and seeds you have on hand. Macadamia, Brazil, Pecan and Walnuts are the nuts lowest in carbs and are great for keeping the total carbs per serve as low as possible. Other nuts that will also work well are Hazelnuts and Almonds.
Avoid using Peanuts and Cashews if possible. Seeds that work well with this recipe are Chia, Flax, Hemp, Pumpkin, Sesame and Sunflower seeds. Just remember if you change the nuts or seeds in this recipe you may be changing the total carbs as well.

Tips for prepping and cooking
- If you wanted a finer chop on the nuts you can chop in a food processor, just be careful not to make it too fine. I prefer the texture when the nuts are roughly hand chopped.
- You can find the maple flavour here.
- When mixture is in the oven, keep an eye on it as the coconut can catch easily. The time in the oven depends on your oven, so watch that it doesn’t burn.

This sounds and looks amazing. I have your ingredients on my shopping list in preparation for the Granola Recipe. Can you convert the grams to me in cups or spoon sizes.
Thank you
Hi Annie, Looking forward to hearing how you like the granola. We used grams as it’s a much more accurate measurement. The best thing to do would be to convert it to ounces using google and weigh it out. Each ingredient would convert differently into cups because they all weigh differently, so almost impossible to do. Check your scale to see if it has grams and ounces as our does, this would make it much easier.
Amazing!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
