EASY KETO SNACK
Homemade granola is one of our favorite snacks to make on the weekend. It all started years ago with this carrot cake granola and I love switching up the flavors to keep things fun.
Most people think that making your own granola at home is hard, but it really couldn’t be easier.
Homemade granola is the perfect snack for meal prep since you can bake up a big batch for the week. Then in the morning, just pour what you need into a bowl with your favorite toppings.
Or if you’re in a rush, pack some up in a portable container for a simple grab-and-go breakfast.
REASONS TO MAKE HOMEMADE SUGAR FREE GRANOLA
Another great thing about learning how to make your own homemade granola is that it’s a lot cheaper and healthier than most of the store-bought cereal.
Boxed granola is usually much higher in sugar, carbs and packed with unnecessary ingredients and fillers.
Now that I’m following a grain free diet, we’ve been making different variations of this Keto Granola. It’s full of big crunchy clusters and is low carb, paleo, gluten free, sugar free and made without any “real” oats.
Plus it comes together quickly and is suitable if you are diabetic or following a grain free or ketogenic diet.
This Keto Granola is delicious straight from the jar by the handful. And it’s equally delicious if you top it with some almond milk, coconut milk, coconut cream and a little bit of berries.
And the best part? You can easily switch up the flavors of this low carb granola with whatever you like or have in your pantry.

This recipe is my favorite! i’ve made it several times. i especially like the gingerbread, but the classic is just as good.
I find it easiest to mix the sweetener with the melted coconut oil for a minute before adding the other wet ingredients. i have a hard time getting the sweetener mixed in with the dry ingredients.
