Keto Granola – Cinnamon & Almond Crunch

I am a firm believer that planning ahead is the key to success on the keto diet. Now that I think about it, planning ahead is the key to success in many areas of life! This Keto granola is fantastic to make a quick batch on the weekend and have for breakfast all week.

Keeping organised and always having something on hand to eat is crucial to avoiding carbs, especially at the start of your keto journey. Keep a small bag of this in your desk drawer, in your handbag or in the fridge – wherever you usually reach for a snack when you are short on time.

I serve this with Nudie Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt, but works just as well with any yoghurt – always check the sugar levels though. Coconut yoghurt is really high in fat and low in carbs, so while it is expensive you only need a small amount to feel full.
