✏️Ingredient notes

• Hemp seeds - Also known as shelled hemp hearts, these are a main component of this granola. They are packed full of protein, healthy fats, and nutrients. One serving of hemp hearts is zero net carbs, with 3 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein, 12 grams of fat, and a wonderful source of both iron and potassium!
• Raw pumpkin seeds - Also known as pepitas boast a similar nutritional profile to hemp hearts, and are also an incredible source of magnesium. They add a lovely crunch to the mix.
• Nuts of choice - Use your favorite low carb nuts. We love using almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
• Unsweetened coconut flakes or chips
• Coconut oil - Melted, to help hold the mixture together and create big crunchy clusters.
• A little bit of kosher salt - To enhance the flavor and balance everything out.
• Ground cinnamon - Technically optional and to taste, but highly recommended!
• More additions to consider - sesame seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, hazelnuts, peanuts, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, sugar free chocolate chips, and more.

📖Instructions

🔪Prep work

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
• Chop your pecans, walnuts, and almonds to your liking. You could also lightly pulse the nuts in a food processor to create a finer texture if desired.

In a large mixing bowl, add melted coconut oil, sweetener, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix to combine so the mixture can coat the nuts.

Add in the remaining ingredients (hemp hearts, pepitas, nuts, and coconut flakes) to the bowl and toss to combine all the ingredients. Make sure everything is well coated.

Add the mixture in a single, even layer to your parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing around halfway to ensure even cooking. When the mixture is golden brown, remove it from the oven.

Allow the mixture to cool completely, so the clusters can form. Once they have hardened and you can snap the granola into pieces, it's ready to eat!

Add to yogurt bowls, serve with fruit, a drizzle of peanut butter, some keto maple syrup, or whatever you like. Enjoy!
