Home made granola is always so much better than store bought. This recipe is super fast, easy and most of all delicious! Next to all that it's also low in carbs so it fits in a keto diet. This recipe will only be stated in cups and not in grams, because it's even easier to toss together like that. If you don't have a cup measure at home, you can use a small coffee cup as a measure of 1 cup.
Keto granola
Ingredients
1 cup pecan nuts
1 cup walnuts
1 cup shaved almonds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup coconut chips
¼ cup chia seeds
2 egg whites
4 tbsp honey
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
Method
Preheat to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Put ½ cup of pecans and walnuts in a large bowl, put the other ½ cup in a food processor or blender and pulse a few times until the nuts broken up into fine pieces. Be careful to not pulse too much, you don't want nut puree.
Toss the nut crumbs together with the whole nuts in the large bowl. Then add the almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and coconut chips.
In a small bowl, mix the egg whites with the honey, oil, almond butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and sea salt. Pour over the nut mix and combine until all the dry parts are covered by the wet mixture.
Spread out evenly over the baking tray and bake for 15 mins. Break into pieces, flip over and bake for another 8 mins. Then break up into smaller chunks, and bake for the last 6-8 mins, making sure the nuts don't turn brown.
Let the granola cool down and transfer to a container. Serve with yoghurt or milk.
Wine pairing
Since this is usually consumed as a breakfast dish, the alcohol pairing will be left out for this recipe ;-)
