Maso's Low Carb Granola

Submitted by Tomaso Basso

"Love granola, but trying to reduce carbs and increase good fats. Decided to play with a seed and nut based granola. My wife and I both love this stuff! I love it with berries and plain yogurt. It's like eating desert to me."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 4 cups

ingredients

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1⁄3 cup flax seed
• 1⁄3 cup poppy seed
• 1⁄3 sunflower seeds
• 1⁄3 cup chia seeds
• 1⁄3 sesame seeds
• 1⁄2 cup slivered almonds
• 1 tablespoon psyllium, husk powder
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Xylitol sweetener (sugar alcohol)
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1⁄4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

directions

1. Preheat the oven to bake at 300 degrees F.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Boil the water and melt the coconut oil if you keep it in the refrigerator to liquify.
4. Add the vanilla to the hot water/coconut oil liquid.
5. Pour the hot liquids into the bowl of dry ingredients and make a sticky heavy batter with lots of large chunks of seeds that looks like raw granola.
6. Bake for 2 hours using a spatula or wooden utensil to break apart the clumps of granola and turn them over for even cooking.
7. When the granola looks evenly browned, it's done. Take out of oven and cool on a rack.
8. Treat as a granola, so you can pair with berries and yogurt or use milk as many would do with cereal. Lots of varied flavors with all the seeds.
