Ingredients
1/2 cup flaked almonds
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/4 cup pepitas
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup ground flaxmeal
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1/2 t ginger powder
1/4 t cardamom powder
1/4 t nutmeg
2 t vanilla paste
3 tbsp sugar-free maple flavoured syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp molasses (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C
- Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir well to thoroughly combine.
- Spread out in a thin layer on a large, lined baking tray.
- Bake for 25 minutes, stirring a couple of times during cooking.
- The more you stir the granola, the smaller your end result pieces will be so break it up to your preferred size.
- The granola will crisp up as it cools so don’t be tempted to over cook it because it doesn’t seem crunchy.
- Store in a sealed jar.
Notes
- Note: While molasses is not technically “keto”it lends a rich spiced flavour to the granola and only adds less than 1 gram of carbs to each serve. The addition of it is optional, but recommended.
