Recently I began craving granola but I didn't want to go and buy the kinds at the store. Most packaged granola is full of sugar as well as refined carbohydrates. But sometimes in life you need some delicious, nourishing granola to go over some yogurt or an acai bowl.
Whether you're simply looking for a low carb granola recipe or if you're on the ketogenic diet, this homemade granola is for you!
We often serve granola like this at our Sacred Goddess Retreats and it's always a hit! If you try this recipe out, please comment below and let us know!

I always recommend using organic ingredients
How to make it:

When I put this granola over my smoothie bowls or yogurt, I like to drizzle it with a bit of raw honey. You could add coconut sugar, xylitol or honey to the granola before baking it if you'd like something sweeter!
