Jenn’s Granola Gone Nuts!

I follow a low carb/Keto style diet so this variation on a popular breakfast/snack theme is a perfect fit for me. It’s packed with nuts and seeds and is grain-and sugar-free with only a hint of honey as the perfect sweetener. Beware: it’s easy to make and even easier to consume as a stand-alone cereal/snack or topping for yogurt! 

Thanks to Jenn for sharing a jar of this terrific homemade granola and then revealing the recipe. We’ve made more batches than I can count with whatever seeds and nuts I happened to have on hand since her original gift. 

The only addition I would might make is to add high-fiber, high-protein chia seeds just before serving. With or without this addition, it’s perfection!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almonds raw slivered
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds raw
  • 1 1/4 cups pumpkin seeds raw
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven 325 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To a food processor, add almonds and chia seeds. Pulse until a granola-like mixture appears this should only take a few seconds. Do not over process.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all nuts and seeds including pulsed almonds and shredded coconut.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat coconut oil, vanilla & honey on low heat for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture over nuts and seeds to combine well.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat coconut oil, vanilla & honey on low heat for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture over nuts and seeds to combine well.
  6. Remove from oven and cool 10-15 minutes, the granola will harden more as it cools.
  7. Store in a container and enjoy for a few weeks. Or a few days!!!

AERIAL IMAGE. Drone shot of Tindholmur, one of 18 AERIAL IMAGE. Drone shot of Tindholmur, one of 18 volcanic islands in the Faroe Islands which lie between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean. Islands are connected by a series of tunnels, ferries, causeways and bridges. Stunningly beautiful.
