If you’re tired of eggs and bacon, this Crunchy Keto Breakfast Granola will quickly become your new go-to. It’s grain-free, high in healthy fats, and full of nuts and seeds that offer long-lasting energy — all while keeping you in ketosis.
Each serving delivers just 11.4g of carbs and a satisfying 17g of fat, making it an ideal low-carb breakfast or snack option. According to recent research on low-carb diets, replacing grains with nuts and seeds may help regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and promote satiety — all crucial for sustained weight loss and keto success.
Why This Keto Granola Works
Unlike traditional granola loaded with oats and sugar, this version is completely grain-free. The combination of walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flaxseeds delivers a perfect mix of omega-3s, fiber, and protein. These ingredients support heart health, digestion, and brain function.
With the added spice of ginger and cinnamon, and the richness of coconut oil and desiccated coconut, you get a deeply flavorful granola that toasts up beautifully in the oven.
