Common Questions About the Keto Cinnamon Crunch Granola Cereal Recipe

What can I substitute for the flax meal if I can’t have flax meal?

You can simply omit the flax meal or replace it with hemp hearts or chia seeds.

Can I use the whole egg with yolk in the recipe instead of egg whites?

No, you really need to separate the egg and use the egg whites only. But you can save the yolks to make an omelet, quiche or some people even add an egg yolk to their dog’s dry food for extra nutrition. I use organic egg whites that are sold in a carton that way I don’t have extra yolks.

How do I store the granola once it is baked?

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. No refrigeration needed.

Ingredients

⅔ cup sliced almonds
⅔ cup chopped pecans
½ cup chopped walnuts
⅓ raw sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon golden flax meal or can use hemp hearts
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ cup granular erythritol or monk fruit low carb sweetener blend
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest *optional
¼ cup almond butter
⅓ cup coconut oil
2 egg whites or can use 5 ½ tablespoon of the egg whites that come in a carton

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl combine: sliced almonds, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, flax meal, shredded coconut, low carb sweetener, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir together to combine. Set aside.
In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, add coconut oil, almond butter and stir until just melted. Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl whisk together egg whites, the melted almond butter-coconut oil, vanilla extract, and optional orange zest until combined.
Add wet egg mixture to the dry nut mixture and stir to combine.
Spread mixture across the lined baking sheet in a thin layer and press the mixture down with a spatula turner or can use greased hands.
Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time (*Don’t stir or move the mixture around).
Remove from oven, and let cool.
Once cooled to room temperature, break into small clusters. You can store granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
Serve with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk. Can top with a small number of low carb berries or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
