Ingredients

• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 1 cup Pecans
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flax seeds
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavoured)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Low-carb sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blend)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the almonds, walnuts, and pecans until they reach a coarse, crumbly texture. Be careful not to over-process, as you want small chunks for good texture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the processed nuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flax seeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and low-carb sweetener until the sweetener dissolves completely.

Step 5

Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
