Is cinnamon granola keto?

If you are asking about the boxes of cereal filled with sugars and additives, then no. But, this recipe for keto granola can fit into the keto diet. It is high-protein and low-carb.

In fact, this grain-free cinnamon crunch with a hint of vanilla is absolutely divine.

I have to stop my children from eating it straight from the jar. For breakfast, they eat it with berries and unsweetened yogurt or sprinkled on whipped cream for a quick and healthy dessert.

We all want something quick in the morning and are so used to pouring something from a packet, this is a great healthy alternative. I make a big batch every few weeks with whatever mixture of seeds, nuts, and coconut I have in my pantry at the time.

You can enjoy a bowl of homemade keto granola, like breakfast cereal - pour some unsweetened almond milk on top. Or take this keto granola with you on a hike or to the gym.

Ingredients

This low-carb granola recipe tastes so good that even people who aren't on a low-carb diet will enjoy the crunchy and sweet granola mixture.

Keto recipes like this one are so easy to customize. From sunflower seeds to sliced almonds and chia seeds, it is really easy to make your own low-carb cinnamon granola recipe with your favorite nut mixture.

For a basic cinnamon keto granola recipe, I recommend using:

• coconut oil - coconut oil is what makes the granola recipe crunchy and packed with healthy fats.
• vanilla extract - or vanilla essence
• egg - the egg can be omitted if you have an egg allergy
• ground cinnamon - this is where that yummy cinnamon flavor comes in!
• granulated sweetener of choice - the most popular sugar-free sweeteners are erythritol, stevia, allulose, mink fruit, and xylitol.
• coconut flour - do not swap coconut flour for almond flour. Coconut flour gives this keto cereal extra crunch and extra fiber.
• mixed nuts and seeds - see some of the best low-carb nuts and seeds here
• shredded coconut - this is often also called desiccated coconut. Just make sure to check the ingredients for any unnecessary added sugars.

A note on eggs: The egg can be omitted if you have an egg allergy or if you do not have eggs. You can see the egg charts and best egg substitutes using the egg conversion charts.

Instructions

There are two parts to this scrumptious keto granola. All the exact steps are in the printable recipe card and recipe notes, but here are some additional tips that will help you as you make cinnamon keto granola.

1. Make the cinnamon crunch glaze

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with an egg, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sweetener, and some coconut flour. Set this aside.

2. Mix and bake

Next, combine your favorite nuts and seeds together. I used some sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and walnuts (among other seeds and nuts).

Add this nut and seed mixture to a baking dish or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pour the cinnamon crunch glaze on top.

Mix it all together. Make sure that all the seeds, nuts, and shredded coconut are coated in the cinnamon crunch glaze.

Stir to make sure the granola recipe is spread out to be a single layer.

Bake your low-carb granola in the preheated oven and turn the keto granola over every 4 minutes to avoid the coconut flakes from burning.

That's it! Once it is nice and toasty, let it cool completely, and you are ready to enjoy this low-carb granola with some almond milk, unsweetened yogurt, and a few fresh or frozen berries.

Substitutions

This is a very adaptable, allergen-friendly, and family-friendly recipe.

You can use any combination of seeds and nuts that you prefer and that you can tolerate.

• walnuts
• hemp hearts
• pecans
• sliced almonds
• high-protein nuts and seeds

I have given a selection of nuts and seeds in the keto granola recipe below, but it is a pretty adaptable pantry recipe. If you can't find some of the ingredients, simply use whichever seeds and nuts you can find and tolerate.

When possible, try and find the shredded coconut or coconut chips as it gives a really beautiful texture and crunch.

If you don't have melted coconut oil, you can use melted butter instead.

Variations

• Make it chocolatey - If you have a sweet tooth, there are a few different things you can add to this keto granola. After it bakes, mix in some keto chocolate chips.
• Add a bit of fruit - This granola is delicious with a few fresh blueberries in a bowl of milk. You can even mix in some dried blueberries. Just be careful because everything you add will increase the net carbs in the granola.
• Swap for egg whites - You can also use egg whites instead of an entire egg.

Top tip

I often add walnut halves, coconut chips, or chopped raw almonds AFTER it has been baked, to add variety and texture.

Storage

Store this gluten-free granola in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

You can take a portion-controlled serving size in a Ziplock bag for your bag or freezer. This is an easy way to stay on your keto diet when traveling for a quick delicious healthy snack or the most important meal (traditionally breakfast) before your day starts.
