Low Carb Granola Recipe with Almond Coconut & Sesame Seed – Grain-Free, Dairy-Free. Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, THM S
I have to admit I wasn’t really sticking to any diet whatsoever the first half of my pregnancy. My nausea was gone at about thirteen or fourteen weeks but my willpower did not come back until twenty. I tried to eat fairly healthy most some of the time.
MY LATEST VIDEOSOne of the things I enjoyed was Kind brand granola. It is a much better choice than Frosted Flakes or Cap’n Crunch but still has added sugar. I really wanted to try to make a grain-free, sugar-free version.
The predominant flavor in that granola, to me, is the sesame seeds. They really gave the granola a unique flavor. If you google ‘sesame granola’ the Kind granola is the top result. Which is kind of funny since it is just titled Oats & Honey Granola with no mention of sesame seeds.
I love these little bowls with the measurements in them. They are perfect for portion control. If I’m not careful I can easily eat several servings of low carb granola at once. These are Pioneer Woman bowls. Cute and cheap!
This is as easy as toasting the coconut and almonds and then pouring the syrup on top.
Make sure to watch the nuts and coconut carefully while making this low carb granola recipe so you don’t burn them. I can’t even count the times I forget to set the timer and burn nuts while toasting them. The best is when I also set off the smoke detector. The happens the most when baking bacon.
