You might like to give this LC chocolate granola recipe a try. I adapted it from trying various different recipes, taking my favourite bits from other recipes and then I added in the chopped 100% buttons. I was never much of a cereal person but needed to up my seed intake for fibre so I have a dessertspoonful with SF jelly and cream each day.
LOW CARB CHOC GRANOLA
Carbs per 50g portion 3.5g approx. (Not including anything added like yoghurt or cream)
Ingredients:
25g coconut oil melted
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice (I used Xylitol but note this is poisonous to pets)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
200 g unsweetened desiccated/shredded coconut
50 g pumpkin seeds
50 g sunflower seeds
100 g mixed nuts corsely chopped
50 g whole flaxseeds
10 Hotel Chocolate buttons corsely chopped
Instructions:
1. Melt the coconut oil in a glass bowl then stir the sweetener, cinnamon and cocoa powder into it.
2. In a large baking tray, mix all the seeds, nuts, coconut and chocolate pieces together.
3. Pour the chocolate coconut oil over the chocolate, coconut, seed and nut mix then stir well so all the granola is coated with the chocolate coconut oil.
4. Bake at 180C/ 350F/gas mark 6 for 24 minutes top oven, until crispy and brown. The mixture burns VERY easily, so set the timer and turn the mixture every 4 minutes.
5. Serve with Greek yoghurt and berries or with cream or sprinkle over SF jelly and cream or ice cream (Oppo of course
)
