About
Not another Keto granola, I hear you say…! Well, here’s a Keto breakfast idea to rock your Eco Keto diet world. An indulgent and nourishing combination of nuts and seeds inspired by the sweet flavours of Greece. Almonds and walnuts form the base in traditional Greek baklava, so here also form the base to this granola. Ground flaxseeds and almond butter bind it all together, while the cinnamon and ground cloves give it the all-important baklava flavour. Now you don't have to miss out on the taste of baklava on a Keto diet!
This Keto breakfast granola is easy to make with just 11 simple ingredients, which may sound like a lot, but all are store cupboard staples. The sweetness comes from the cinnamon and the sugar-free syrup, or sweetener of choice, which can be adjusted to your liking.
What can I serve the granola with?
This granola is awesome sprinkled over your morning shake, smoothie bowl, yoghurt, or just to snack on their own; whatever your style, it’s a great addition to your Eco Keto diet plan.
How long does this keep?
This granola will typically keep for a month or so if stored correctly in an airtight jar and away from heat and direct sunlight. (If it lasts that long!)
Can I substitute ingredients?
If you don't have sugar free syrup to hand, you can use any sweetener of choice or omit it completely.
You can make variations of the recipe by swapping out the almond butter for hazelnut butter or peanut butter.
If you cannot tolerate coconut oil in your diet, this can be swapped out for 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil.
