Low-Carb Granola

Elena Butuc

Today I propose a recipe for low-carb granola, carbohydrates and sugar free, suitable for fasting, very fragrant, tasty and crunchy. It's a lot more filling because it lacks carbohydrates and, combined with a fatter Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or vegetable milk, it can be a healthy and special breakfast or dinner.

When I also want a touch of sweetness (for a healthy dessert), I add a little low carb jam.

Step by step

Coconut oil or butter normally has a lard-like texture. So, before using it here, melt in a bain-marie, in the microwave or over very low heat.

I used almond flakes, if you have whole almonds cut them into thin slices.

Don't ignore the coconut chips, they are really special and make this granola tastier.

I bought some very cheap online.

Cut walnuts into small pieces with a knife.

Place all the nuts and seeds in a large baking sheet.

Over the top, spread cocoa, cinnamon and a little salt.

Mix well with a spoon.

Now pour over the melted coconut oil.

Stir well again and place the sheet in the preheated oven at 150 C for 15-20 minutes.

During this time, mix 2-3 more times in the pan, for the granola to brown evenly.

Don't go too far from the oven, it can burn quickly!

You can tell it's done by the smell. I usually don't roast it very much, I remove from the oven and let sit in the hot sheet on the table. While it's cooling down, it's still cooking passively.
