Low Carb High Protein Granola

Make this granola in batches and you’ll have breakfast and snacks ready for the whole week! High-protein nuts like almonds and cashews are mixed with high-protein seeds, such as pumpkin, sunflower, and hemp seeds. You’ll taste hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup in the mix. This high-protein, Keto vegetarian recipe is good for breaking up into pieces and eating in a bowl of almond milk or coconut milk. The granola is yummy both warm and at room temperature. You could even chill it to make it extra crunchy! If you don’t want to eat your granola like cereal, just have a handful as a tasty snack.

Important note about sugar-free maple syrup

Not all sugar-free maple syrup is the same! Always check the nutrition label because some maple syrups that claim to be free of sugar actually just have a small amount of sugar in them. Choose a brand of maple syrup that has “Keto” on the bottle or use a brand like Lakanto.

Which ingredient has the most protein?

Per ounce, pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas) have the most protein at 9 grams. They’re followed closely by hemp seeds with 8 grams of protein per ounce. Seeds are a really smart way to get protein in a high-protein, Keto vegetarian recipe.

Storage tips

Wait for your granola to be completely cooled before storing it. Break up the granola into pieces and keep them in a sealed Ziploc bag. You can keep the granola on your countertop for up to a week. Just take out a serving of granola when you want some!
