If you’re familiar with traditional granola, you know that rolled oats are the main ingredient. It also includes a sweetener, like honey or brown sugar.
Unfortunately, these ingredients aren’t very keto-friendly.
So to make this low-carb granola, we use nuts, seeds, and a delicious sugar-free honey flavored syrup instead!
I love the sweet, candy-like coating we get from baking the honey into the granola. It isn’t overly sweet, it’s just the right balance.
The combination of the nuts, seeds, and baked honey coating gives each bite that satisfying crunch we want from granola.
It has a rich, honey nut taste that goes well in almond milk or yogurt. But you can also enjoy it all by itself!
