4. Keto Granola with Nuts and Seeds

This is a crunchy and nutty recipe that you can make with some nuts and seeds. You can use any nuts and seeds that you like, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. 

You can also use any keto-friendly sweetener that you like, such as erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, etc. 

The key is to toss the nuts and seeds with some melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt, and bake them in the oven, until crisp and golden. 

You can also add some coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, or dried berries, for some extra flavor and texture. 

You can serve the granola as it is, or with some yogurt, milk, or almond milk, for some extra creaminess and calcium.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of mixed nuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup of mixed seeds
• 1/4 cup of butter, melted
• 1/4 cup of keto-friendly sweetener, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, or dried berries, optional
• Yogurt, milk, or almond milk, for serving, optional

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, toss the nuts and seeds with the butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt, until well coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden. Add the coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, or dried berries, if using, in the last 5 minutes of baking.
• Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet, and then break into clusters.
• Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
• Serve the granola as it is, or with some yogurt, milk, or almond milk, if desired.
