FAQs
1. What type of nuts work best?
Almonds, pecans, and walnuts are ideal because they provide great texture and healthy fats. You can swap in macadamia nuts for an even richer flavor.
2. Can I add sweetener?
Yes! If you prefer a slightly sweeter low carb granola recipe, add a few drops of liquid stevia or a tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener.
3. How should I store the granola?
Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze it for long-term storage.
