This tasty mixture of baked nuts and seeds works perfectly for a keto style low carb granola. Make it ahead and top with a splash of cream when you’re ready for a filling and nutrient-rich bowl of power fuel.
Not only is this granola great for a quick low-carb breakfast, but it’s also great for a take-along keto camping food (no cooking) or snack.
Alternative sweeteners have gained popularity as we continue to learn about the negative health consequences of sugar. This recipe uses monk fruit sweetener as a natural sugar substitute.
Monk fruit sweetener has zero calories and is extracted from the monk fruit, or Buddha fruit, which is grown in Southeast Asia. It gets its sweet flavor from antioxidants called mogrosides, and is found in many low-carb products and recipes.
I love how the almond butter and egg whites hold the ingredients in this granola recipe together to form clusters of slightly sweet nuts and seeds.
Try it sprinkled over your favorite full-fat, unsweetened yogurt, or yogurt alternative.
