Keto Grain Free Granola
Delicious keto and grain free granola that you will love!
Servings: 9 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup aquafaba or egg whites - aquafaba is the liquid juices that are found in a can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans they work very similar to egg whites, I use this in my recipe but you can also use egg whites in it's place.
- 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener - or desired sweetener of choice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup almond meal or almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups raw sunflower seeds
- 1 cup nuts of choice - walnuts pecans, cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts - in bite size pieces
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- Add aquafaba or egg whites to a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment.
- Begin beating the aquafaba or egg whites until it starts to foam and get frothy.
- Add in monk fruit sweetener or sweetener of choice and beat until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and whip again for another minute.
- Add almond meal, sunflower seeds, nuts of choice, pumpkin seeds, vanilla, salt and melted coconut oil and blend together well.
- Reserve the coconut chips for after baking.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
- The mixture will appear kind of wet still but it is just the oils from the seeds and nuts that will harden up once the granola cools. *If granola doesn't dry up when totally cooled and feels chewy in texture, place back in the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes or allow to set out for a day and it will dry out.
- After granola is removed from the oven, stir in coconut chips and store in a air tight container or zip top bag.
