Keto Chocolate Chip Orange Granola Recipe

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup sliced almonds
• ⅔ cup chopped pecans
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• ⅓ cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1 ½ tbsp golden flax meal
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ⅓ cup granular erythritol or monk fruit low-carb sweetener blend
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon orange extract (or vanilla extract)
• 2 teaspoons orange zest
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond butter or sunflower seed butter
• ⅓ cup coconut oil
• 2 egg whites (or 5½ tablespoons liquid egg whites)
• ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced almonds, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, flax meal, shredded coconut, sweetener, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to blend evenly and set aside.
3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the coconut oil with the almond (or sunflower seed) butter, stirring until just combined. Remove from heat and let cool for about 3 minutes.
4. Add the egg whites to the dry nut mixture and stir to combine.
5. Pour in the melted coconut oil and nut butter, then add the orange extract and orange zest. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
6. Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press it down firmly with a spatula or lightly greased hands to encourage clusters.
7. Bake for 22–28 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Do not stir during baking — this helps create large, crisp clusters.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling is essential for it to crisp up.
9. Once cooled and firm, break the granola into clusters with your hands and fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, if using. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
10. Serve as a cereal with unsweetened almond or coconut milk, or enjoy the clusters dry as a crunchy snack or trail mix.
