Easy Banana Bread Keto Granola

Easy Banana Bread Keto Granola

This keto granola recipe was a game changer for me on a keto diet. Not only is low in carbs, but it's high in protein, sugar free and nut free! The banana bread flavors makes it great as a keto cereal or you can sprinkle it on yogurt or pudding! Only 1.7g net carbs but 15.1g protein per serving.

Recipe Tips and Notes

  • I used a variety of seeds, coconut oil, butter, almond milk and protein powder. You can use all or some of the types of seeds I used and even nuts like pecans or walnuts.
  • You can substitute coconut milk or water for almond milk if you have a nut allergy.
    Try to use a low carb protein powder like IsoPure banana protein powder as it's a key element to this granola. It adds flavor, protein and makes it stick together. You can use any flavor or brand you want though.
  • To add flavor without carbs, try using different flavor extracts. You can add banana extract to add even more banana flavor in this recipe. Extracts come in all kinds of flavors and easily found in the grocery store baking aisle.
  • I used Swerve brown sugar sweetener because I think it adds to the banana bread flavor but you can use any kind of powdered sweetener you wish. Lakanto golden is another good one to try.
  • NOTE: This granola is very filing IMO. Sometimes I want to eat more than 1 serving for a snack and if I do, I am not hungry for a very long time. That just might be me though but keep it mind when you try it.
  • Serving size is roughly 1/3 cup.
