Crunchy Low-Carb Granola
This Crunchy Low-Carb Granola is perfect for anyone who loves that deep, toasty, nutty crunch without relying on grains. It’s rich, satisfying, and naturally sweetened, making it ideal for sprinkling over yogurt, smoothies, or enjoying straight from the jar when snack cravings hit.
What makes this granola special is the balance of textures and flavours: crisp seeds, lightly caramelised nuts, and a subtle sweetness that doesn’t overpower. It’s the kind of recipe that feels indulgent but still nourishing — great for breakfast, brunch, or a quick energy boost during the day.
