Granola - wheat free/grain free/sugar free/dairy free

Granola  - or since there's no grain in it, Nutola?


Getting tired of eggs for breakfast?  This is a nice chance of pace.  A mixture of nuts held together with protein powder and you can pour milk (or almond milk, or coconut milk) on your breakfast again.

1 C pecans
1/2 C sliced almonds (the really thin sliced ones)
1/2 C sunflower seeds
3/4 C vanilla powder (either whey powder or egg protein powder will work
1/4 C sesame seeds
1/4 C swerve or other sugar free sweetener
1 t cinnamon
1/8 t salt
3/4 C coconut oil


Mix dry ingredients.  Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil until it's liquid, pour over the mixed ingredients and stir.  Spread out on parchment covered baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 20 min.

Mine turned out a little darker than I expected (see above - picture left is before baking), so maybe check at 15 minutes.

Break into pieces and keep in an air tight container

I expected this to be hard, but it was actually pretty crumbly, so be gentle with it or you might turn it into powder.

Makes around 10 servings:  300 calories, 4 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams fiber
