Low-Carb Granola
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.
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.
When it's completely cooled, store in a jar or airtight container.
Serve, as I said in the description, with yogurt, cottage cheese, vegetable milk etc.
Enjoy!
