I love granola! It’s chewy, crunchy, sweet and easy to make so what’s not to love. Well I have a hard time with oatmeal so I had to come up with a gluten free granola like this homemade keto granola.

How To Make Homemade Keto Granola

Making homemade keto granola is not hard. All you really need to do is:

1. Gather ingredients such as nuts, seeds, coconut, sweetener and flavorings.
2. Toss them in some type of oil like coconut oil, butter or canola oil.
3. Then bake it in a low temperature oven (250°F) until browned and crunchy (about 1 ½ to 2 hours)

So there are many ways you can vary the ingredients to make any flavor of granola you want. Today I’ll show you what I used for my samoa flavors but feel free make substitutes and use the basic recipe to make any flavor you want.

Ingredients I Used

Let’s start with nuts and seeds. This is what I had on hand to use: raw pecans, raw almond slices, raw sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, unsweetened coconut chips and stevia sweetened chocolate chips. (See my Amazon page for most of these ingredients.)

You could use just about any nuts you like such as walnuts, macadamias, hazelnuts, etc. As for seeds I usually use raw pumpkin seeds too or flax seeds.

Lastly for sweeteners if you are trying to make this low carb, you are limited to sugar free sweeteners. Today I use Lakanto monk fruit sweetener and Lily’s chocolate chips.

I also used my Torani sugar free salted caramel syrup and Belgian cookie syrup. Torani syrups are a great way to add a variety of flavors without calories or carbs.

Let’s Make Our Granola!

The first thing you do is mix the nuts and seeds together and split into two bowls. You are only doing this so you can get separate the two flavors of caramel and Belgian cookie.

Then add the Torani sugar free salted caramel syrup to one bowl and then the Belgian cookie syrup to the other bowl.  

Pour the melted coconut oil on the cookie sheet and mix the two nut mixtures in it but keep them separate so the flavors don’t mix up.

Bake at a low temperature, about 250°F for about 1 ½ – 2 hours. Add the coconut ¾th of the way thorough as it browns quickly.

Lastly when it’s done and has cooled, mix in the chocolate chips. That’s all there is to it!

Recipe Substitutions

• You can use any type of nuts and seeds that you like. Choose from walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamias, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, coconut flakes, etc.
• You can usually find Torani sugar free caramel syrup in grocery stores or coffee shops however if you don’t have any, you can try the caramel sauce from this post and mix it before baking. No need to split the granola in two just mix it all up with the sauce and bake. Keep an eye on it because it might brown faster. I have not tried this but I’m pretty sure it will work but it might also be a little stickier and have a few more carbs.
• You can also try a caramel extract and some more Lakanto or Swerve sweetener as a replacement for the Torani syrups. The extracts do not have any sweetness so you need to add sweetener too. This will not add any extra carbs to the recipe. 
• Swerve brown sugar sweetener is a good substitution for Lakanto golden sweetener. ChocoZero chocolate chips are a good keto chocolate chip substitute for Lily’s chocolate chips. You can also break up a very dark chocolate bar for the chips.

How Do I Store Homemade Granola?

I like to keep mine in a sealed glass jar or container. Sometimes the air will take out the crispness of the granola. You can also use a zipped baggie too. 

Ways You Can Eat This Low Carb Granola

I tend to eat this granola as is for a low carb snack but sometimes I add a bit of almond milk and eat it as a cereal. You can also use this on top of yogurt or pudding. In other words you can eat this just like you would regular granola.

My husband loved this as did my diabetic father in law. I hope you like it as well. Remember you can play around with the ingredients and feel free to comment any questions you have below if you want to make any changes.
