Keto Coconut & Nut Granola, Bars and Bites

In this video, I serve up some keto granola in 3 forms: “normal” granola (to eat on yogurt or as cereal with nut milk), granola bars, and granola “bites”.

I find that ovens seem to vary from one another more so at lower temperatures. If you are finding that your granola or bars aren’t coming out crisp after they cool, I’d encourage you to check out my video on oven calibration: https://youtu.be/o8SGe6M3er4

Hey there it’s steve from serious keto and in this video we are going to make some keto granola and granola bars The idea for this video really came from two sources quite a while ago a company had sent me their keto granola and it was pretty tasty but it was like fifteen dollars for this tiny little bag then recently while at costco i picked up these coconut keto clusters and as i look at

The nutritional information on this i kind of wonder how they can call this keto i mean it’s eight grams of total carbohydrates for a one ounce serving five grams net in terms of ingredients coconut pumpkin seeds pecans almonds cane sugar not sure how that’s keto brown rice syrup coconut butter erythritol flax seeds

Sea salt agave fiber and natural flavor i saw that and thought i can do better so that let’s get to making some keto granola and granola bites start with 1 cup or 90 grams of sliced almonds then add 1 cup or 110 grams of pecan pieces

Then one half cup or 75 grams of shelled pumpkin seeds or pepitas and finally one cup or 80 grams of unsweetened shredded coconut mix together with a spatula until thoroughly combined we don’t want to get any bits with great big globs of coconut in it we’ll set this aside while we work on

Our wet ingredients starting with one half cup or 120 milliliters of liquid egg white to this we will add 15 drops or roughly one quarter teaspoon of liquid stevia i’m just using the plain stevia here but you can have some fun with flavors i would think vanilla cream would work well

So with cinnamon then whisk your egg white to this we will add one quarter cup or 54 grams of bocha sweet whisk again until our egg whites are completely foamy then pour into our dry ingredients and again with our spatula mix thoroughly to combine

At this point it’s up to you if you want to make bites bars or just straight granola we’ll start by doing some granola bites by spooning our mixture and patting it down in this candy mold which i will link to down in the description below

You can use any size or shape mold you want i just wouldn’t go much thicker than this depth right here we’ll slide this off to the side and then do a couple of freestyle bars and some just straight up granola so over here on the right i’ll just

Divide this into three chunks here kind of square it up then over on the left we’ll break this up for granola good for yogurt and stuff we’ll throw this into an oven preheated to 250 degrees and we’ll let these cook for 45 minutes at 45 minutes we’ll want to rotate our

Trays 180 degrees this will account for any hot or cold spots in our oven and lead to a more even cooking we’ll then let these go for another 45 minutes before taking them out and allowing them to cool for at least a half an hour

They may seem a little bit soft at this point but trust me they’ll firm up after half an hour if you’re just making granola you can bust up the pieces terms of the bars you can see that those hold together quite nicely after they cool very much like the old style granola

Bars and our bites just pop them right out of your silicone mold so i’ve got a couple of my favorite taste testers here we’ve got jaden and colton look at this he’s already reaching for it he wants a bite he wants go ahead fine what do you think

Do you like that yeah you’ve got a little bit of a cold oh for me too for me ah Um mmm thank you are you gonna eat the rest is there nuts in there nuts so you can’t see this but we just set colton down and he just ran right after the tray and grabbed another one of these so even though he’s not feeling very

Talkative today i think we have a winner these bites are not overly sweet i was pretty conservative in terms of sweetener on these if you want to amp up the sweetness my advice is to do it with more stevia drops rather than more boju sweet additionally i have done batches of this

With added salt and added cinnamon and i definitely think those take this up to a whole other place so give some thought to adding up to a teaspoon of sea salt and maybe just like a half a teaspoon of cinnamon also if a person were so inclined he or she might mix in

Some keto chocolate chips into this whole mixture before you bake them if you were so inclined i will link to the printable recipe along with all the macros down below in the description if you enjoyed this video please click that like button if you’re not a subscriber already
