LOW CARB GRANOLA
The story goes:
Years ago, I have tried various recipes, to make granola or Cornflakes for my daughter for Breakfast. Something she would like. But it never went in a positive way. Even though I thought they are perfect, she never really liked any of them.
Then came last Christmas, when we went for a skiing trip to a hotel, where all the kids from our friends have decided to eat different types of granolas for Breakfast. Every single day. And of course, my daughter seeing this, wanted to copy. So she kept asking for them more and more.
Once we came from the trip, my trials started. And because I just got fresh walnuts from my mum, those were the main base to try it with. After a few attempts and some inspirations, I think I found the right one.
At least I can see that those are really the best since my daughter eats them now on a daily basis already for the last 3 weeks. Yesterday I even tried to convince her to have something else for breakfast. Something she used to love before. Like those buns with bacon and eggs.
But NO WAY.
She wakes up every morning already talking about them and as I see it, it will take a while until I will convince her to give breakfast a bit of a change. The last one, I have decided to double the recipe, because of how quickly they are gone. The best part is, that they are really crunchy. That is something I have been missing before.
Once you try them, you will not go back to anything.
I have also added a few Freeze-Dried berries, just for the color and feeling or a real shop bought granola.

Homemade granola is the best! I love this low carb version!
Dear Pam,
It really is
Zuzana
I love making my own granola, and I’m always looking for new recipe ideas. Thanks so much for this fun twist! I will be making it soon!
Dear Debi,
Yes, anything homemade is always better than from the shop. And if it is also healthy, we have a winner.
Zuzana

Zuzana
There is something so satisfying about making your own granola! You’ve reminded me I need to make a batch, This looks amazing!
Dear Amy,
Cant wait once you do try them
Zuzana
I’m always looking for new variations of granola to try and this will definitely be my next one! I love all the nutty flavors in this and the use of coconut oil! I bet the flavors are out of this world!
Dear Sarah,
Yes, you are so right, the flavors are outstanding and those nuts makes it just perfect.
Zuzana
Is there anything I can substitute for the sweetener mentioned? Thanks!
Dear Smita,
Yes, of course, you can add any sweetener you use as long as it is powdered.
Zuzana
Okay, everytime I think I have the right ingredients to make these low-carb recipes, I run into a glitch. I have almond flour, is it the same thing as almond meal?
Dear Ceci,
Almond Flour is almonds without skin (white in color) and is ground more finely. Almond meal is the same thing, but with the skins left, so the color is a bit darker. In this recipe, you can use any of those as long as they are ground almonds. Hope that helps.
Have a great day
Zuzana
I’m not a fan of coconut, would it be ok f I left out the coconut chips and shredded coconut or is that a big part of the flavor? Any substitutions?
Dear Kim,
It is not a problem at all. With this recipe, you can use any kind of nuts you like instead of coconut. For the flakes, I would suggest the almonds sliced into flakes to give it that granola feel. Hope it helps
Have a great day
Zuzana
Omg i love this granola its so yummy. Its great to have a quick breakfast now, im so happy.
Thank you for the recipe.
Just a question how many serving do you get out of it ?
Dear Bonnie,
I am happy you like it. Once you try, you will be hooked. I have calculated this for 10 servings, but normally I place it into a big Mason Jars and my daughter takes it from there.
Do let me know once you will make them.
Have a great day
Zuzana
Can you tell me what coconut chips are pleas?
Dear Donna,
They are sliced coconut pieces dried and sold normally in any supermarket. You can have a look at these as an example. https://amzn.to/2NwcrAU
