Homemade Sugar Free Granola

It seems as if I missed this healthy and delicious treat.
 

Homemade Sugar Free Granola

 
The perfect topping to sprinkle on top of your Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting or on top of your Sugar Free Blueberry Ice Cream.
Sugar Free Granola is the perfect crunch to add to so many yummy treats!
 

Personally, granola is my favorite way to top a lot of tasty things.
My favorite way to eat granola is to sprinkle some on top of my Greek Yogurt. I enjoy this combination almost daily for my lunch.
 

It is true that granola can contain sugar.

Usually, so I want to believe anyway, that sugar is a natural sugar.
It is a sugar that comes from added fruit or honey perhaps.

I have heard that for a granola to be considered low in sugar, it should have around (or less) 4-5 grams of sugar per serving .

Some dieters may avoid eating granola because it tends to be a more dense concentration of calories than some cereals. However, granola gives us fiber, protein and healthier fats which can make you feel fuller than those other cereal options.

 

There are ingredients that you will need to make this homemade granola that you may not have on hand.

Obviously, there are rolled oats in granola. You will also need some dried and unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut.

There are some low carb alternative to oats in granola that you can try.
Instead of rolled oats, you can try using flax meal or seed, chopped almonds, or even chia. You can find other low carb or keto alternatives for granola here.

 

Here are some tips to help you make your granola.

I already mentioned that homemade sugar free granola is the perfect topping to sprinkle on top of your Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting or on top of your Sugar Free Blueberry Ice Cream. I mix it into my Greek Yogurt for lunch.

Here are some more tips for making a great tasting homemade granola.

1. While this recipe calls for no added sugar alternative, you could add some liquid sugar alternative to sweeten your granola up. Simply add a few drops to the egg whites.
2. Baking your granola longer will make it darker and more crunchy. Be sure to stir often as well.
3. Add additional dried fruit, nuts, and even sugar free chocolate chips for more taste and texture.

 

Granola is a cereal that consists of oats, nuts, dried fruit and often some kind of sweetening.

However, this cereal becomes a great snack when you allow the granola to clump up rather than breaking up the clumps when you stir it. You can make your granola less sweet by avoiding the added sweetener and eliminating or limiting the added dried fruit.
