Coconut Oil Keto Granola Recipe

"Granola needs some sort of sticky binding agent to help the clusters stick together. Many times this is something sweet, like honey or maple syrup. Often, oils are used as well. This coconut oil keto granola recipe offers a unique sugar-free and low-carb alternative that won’t compromise your ketosis. Coconut oil is one of the many fats you can enjoy on a keto diet. Other options include avocado oil, olive oil, and ghee. Many common household oils are heavily processed and harmful for your health, whether or not you’re on a ketogenic diet. Vegetable and canola oil, often used in granola, are both oils you’ll want to avoid for your health. Coconut oil is unique in that it’s solid at room temperature. That takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s not a huge deal. Typically you’ll just melt it down before adding it to your recipe, as you do for this keto granola. It’s becoming easier to find, even in large chain grocery stores. Try looking in the natural or organic section, as well as in the baking aisle. While you’re there, you can also pick up some other keto-friendly oils. Coconut oil has some great benefits for your diet. Coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides, which are shorter than many other fats. These fats are used quickly for energy, or changed into ketones – which is perfect for your keto diet. Like many fats, it is satiating, and you should stay fuller longer when you eat it. It’s also great for your hair, skin, and nails."
