Chocolate Keto Granola Recipe … Yum!

By Dr. Josh Axe

October 19, 2020

Granola is a breakfast favorite that can be hard to give up when going low carb or keto. Luckily, our paid influencer friend Laura Lea wrote a recipe for a keto granola that will satisfy the craving (while getting a half-serving of collagen!).

We included Multi Collagen Chocolate to add flavor, natural sweetness and 9 grams of protein from pasture-raised, wild-caught sources. The chunks are a little crispy around the edges, soft in the middle and every bite is studded with chocolate. We love enjoying a bowl of this granola topped with a generous drizzle of almond or peanut butter and almond milk.

Time: 2 hours

Dry Ingredients:

• ½ cupraw macadamia nuts

• ½ cupraw walnuts

• ½ cupunsweetened shredded coconut

• 2tablespoonshemp seeds

• 2tablespoonschia seeds

• 2tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder

• 1scoop Multi Collagen Protein Chocolate

• 3tablespoonsmonkfruit sweetener

• ¼ cupcoconut flour

• pinch sea salt

• ½ cupstevia-sweetened chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients:

• 2largeroom temperature eggs

• 6tablespoonsbutter, melted(sub melted coconut oil,)

• 1teaspoonvanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F and line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper.

2. Roughly chop macadamia nuts and walnuts and add them to a large mixing bowl, along with all remaining dry ingredients. Stir to evenly incorporate.

3. Crack eggs into a smaller mixing bowl and check for shells. Add melted butter and vanilla and stir until creamy.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until it forms a sticky “batter”. Add to your lined baking sheet and form it into a ball, then top with another piece of parchment. Use your hands or a rolling pin (recommended) to spread batter into an even layer approximately ½” thick.

5. Bake for 50 minutes, and as soon as it comes out, sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips/chunks. Allow to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 25 minutes, or until chocolate is solid (I put a dish towel under the baking sheet when I refrigerate it). Once cooled, break granola into chunks and enjoy!

6. Granola will keep tightly sealed (completely cooled) at room temperature for two days, then another four days in the fridge.
