This low-carb homemade granola is the perfect snack choice or for a better cereal choice in the morning.
When I started eating low-carb, I found out very quickly that oats and my grain cereals were a thing of the past. So, I started looking for a substitute and came upon some great ideas for homemade granola that’s low carb and great tasting.
The main ingredient in this granola is nuts. I used chopped pecans, almonds, and walnuts that I already had in my pantry. I find my nuts at Aldis for a great price all year long. When the holidays start rolling around, I can find them in bulk at Sams. But there are so many other nut options out there to choose from. It’s a good idea to not use nuts with salt on them. I also used butter, Erythritol, flax meal, and seeds.
Easy to mix, bake and store. I store mine in a zip-lock bag in the fridge. I’m sure you could store it in a pantry in a tight container also, but because of the butter, you will need to use it up quickly.
I love mine with almond milk and a few berries for breakfast. It replaces cereal that low-carb diets can’t have.
