Low Carb Keto Granola
This low carb keto granola combines a variety of nuts and seeds with coconut flakes and almond butter, baked until browned and crunchy. It features milled flaxseed and whey protein for added nutrition, along with freeze-dried raspberries for subtle tartness. This granola offers a satisfying, nutty texture suitable for keto diets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds 150g, whole
- 1 cup walnut halves 100g
- 1 cup pecans 100g
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds 65g
- ½ cup sunflower seeds 65g
- ⅓ cup Flaxseed 40g, milled
- ⅓ cup whey protein powder 30g, unflavoured
- 1 ½ cup coconut flakes 90g, unsweetened, chips
- ⅓ cup almond butter 80 g, smooth
- ⅓ cup water 80 ml
- 4 tablespoon freeze dried raspberries
- 2 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 Celsius / 300 Fahrenheit (electric).
- Pulse the almonds, walnuts and pecans in a food processor until you have a mixture of smaller and larger pieces. Don't over-process!
- Repeat with the pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
- Empty the nuts and seeds into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients (reserve 2 tablespoons of the raspberries for later) and mix with a spatula. The mixture should be sticky. If it's still dry, add another tablespoon of water.
- Press the mixture firmly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until you have a flat surface.
- Bake the granola in the oven for 25-30 minutes until browned. Turn the baking sheet after 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Then break into small pieces, mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons of freeze-dried raspberries and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- The recipe yields 15 portions of about 50g (⅓ cup) each, with approximately 7g net carbs per portion.
- If the granola center seems underbaked after 30 minutes, return it to the oven to dry it out further for extra crunch.
- You can remove the edges if they become crunchier than the center to have a uniform texture.
- Freeze-dried raspberries add tartness and color but can be omitted and replaced with 1 tablespoon cinnamon if unavailable.
