Keto Cereal (or Granola)
I didn't take a picture. I made this like 10 times before I got this right and then I ate it all before photographing. Its really really good.
1 cup slivered (preferred) or whole almonds.
1 cup coconut flakes (not shredded)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 TB butter *
1 TB coconut oil *
3-4 teaspoons stevia or to your taste
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon or apple pie spice (optional), per your taste
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 300
Pulse the almonds and coconut in a food processor on chop setting. If you're using whole almonds, start with the almonds until they are mostly chopped and then add coconut or you'll pulverize the coconut before almonds are chopped.
Place almond coconut mixture in a bowl. Add stevia, salt, and cinnamon and stir for 30 seconds. Add water and chia seeds and let sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture will coagulate and become almost like a paste. Melt butter & coconut oil. Stir butter coconut mixture and vanilla in to integrate thoroughly.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the mixture on. It will be clumpy, don't break it up. Bake for about 25 minutes. The cereal will not be crispy at first but as it dries it will become crispier. When its done. you
Has about 6 grams of carbs per 1/4 cup and a ridiculous amount of fat. If you're counting net carbs it has about 2 grams of fiber per serving as well.
