Let’s talk about the nuts that go into our granola!

I use three different kinds of nuts to make this granola! The nuts add both amazing taste and amazing texture to this granola, and they also help to keep the carb count low. For this dish, we use a combination of pecans, walnuts, and almonds. I cut my almonds in half, then roughly chop the pecans and walnuts. You can also use your hands to break up your pecans and walnuts. You have some other great options for the kinds of nuts you add to your granola. Some great choices include Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and peanuts. You can leave peanuts whole, but if you use any of the other nuts, you’ll want to roughly chop them. Nuts vary a bit in their carb counts, and because they’re quite a bit higher in carbs, I usually avoid cashews and pistachio nuts.

What other ingredients go into this chocolate maple keto granola?

To our nuts, we add unsweetened coconut, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. You can use coconut flakes or coconut chips, but you’ll want to make sure you’re using unsweetened coconut. We then combine melted coconut oil, keto maple syrup, and maple extract. I prefer using unrefined coconut oil as it has a stronger coconut flavor. I used Lakanto maple syrup for my granola. It’s low in carbs and quite flavorful! For sweetness, we add both keto brown and granulated sugar. I used the Swerve brand for both my sugars, but you can substitute with your favorite keto sugar if you’d like. We also add a touch of cinnamon and espresso powder. Last, we add keto chocolate chips. I used semi-sweet chips, but you can use keto milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if you’d prefer. Two of my favorite keto chocolate chip brands are Lily’s and Bake Believe.
