Keto Granola – Buy or make your own

Bored of butter coffee or bacon & eggs for breakfast? Why not give keto granola a try, eat it on its own, with milk or even yoghurt! Check out our keto-friendly granola product recommendations that you can buy instore and online. Alternatively, you can try and make your own at home.

What is keto granola?

Granola might not be the first thing you think of when you’re trying to decide on a low carb breakfast. However, there are quite a few brands that now sell granola that contains only high protein, low carb ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, dessert or even as a snack.

So what is typically in a low carb keto granola? Let’s take a look:

  • Seeds – Sunflower, Pumpkin, Chia, Sesame, Linseeds (a.k.a Flaxseed) and more
  • Nuts – Almonds, Cashews, Pecans, Hazelnuts and more
  • Coconut – Oil, Shredded, Flaked and Desiccated
  • Dried fruit – berries including Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackcurrant
  • Cocoa powder
  • Spices & seasonings – such as salt, cinnamon and more
  • Sweeteners – normally erythritol and/or sucralose

Nutrition and carbs

Sounds good, right? However, you do need to be careful about the carb count as well as the serving size.

A typical serving size is around 40g and most store-bought versions contain about 5-7g of carbs. That is a bit high but so long as you keep under your daily carb goal it is quite doable.

If you want to bring the carb count down even further you can try your hand at making your own keto granola at home! Check out some of the recipe links at the end of the article.

Best served with…

You could always just the eat the granola on its own but it tastes so much better with something that helps to soften it.

Milk

low carb keto milk

If you miss the days of having cereal for breakfast then adding some “milk” to your granola may be a great idea. Of course, dairy milk is high in carbs so we need to look at something with a similar structure.

Luckily, there are plenty of milk substitutes that are both low carb and great for a keto diet. Check out our article on the best low carb milk alternatives. We recommend unsweetened almond milk.

Yoghurt

Want something a bit thicker than milk? Maybe turn this into a thick dessert? Then yoghurt is the way to go. As with milk, most normal yoghurt is high in carbs and not suitable for keto. However, some Greek and soy yoghurts sold in UK supermarkets are low in carb and go great with granola.

Check out our article on the best low carb yoghurts for product recommendations.
