Finally I found my dream granola! The one with nuts-seeds and dried fruits, without any oats or other grains, crunchy and delicious with cacao-orange flavors! The original recipe is from Brooke Brennan and I added some other ingredients. You can also mix and match the ingredients at home. You will love this recipe with Low Carbohydrate.
1cupNuts(I used 1/3 Cup each of: almonds, pinenuts, peacan, pistachio and walnuts)
1 / 2cupSeeds(Pumpkin, Sunflowers)
1 / 4cupChopped Medjool Dates and / or Dried Apricots
1 / 4cupGoji Berries and/or Mulberries

2tbspHemp Heart Seeds or Flaxseeds
3tbspFresh Squeezed Orange Juice
1tbspOrange Zest
2tbspMelted Coconut Oil
1teaspoonCinnamon
2tbspRaw Caco
1 / 2cupUnsweetened Coconut Flakes
A small pinch of Sea Salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 165 degrees celcius
Prepare the oven tray with a baking sheet
In a small pot, mix coconut oil, orange juice, cinnamon and salt
In another large bowl, mix all of the remaining ingredients to combine
Pour the liquid mixture over dry ingredients and mix them well
Place this mixture over the oven tray making a single layer
Bake for 20 minutes (or until toasty), mixing the granola on the baking tray every 5 minutes for even baking and no burning
Once baked, keep it for cooling down in the baking tray for about 10-15 minutes
Keep in an airtight container and better keeping in refregirator and enjoy a longer time!
Notes
I love adding a spoon of it to my coconut yogurt as an afternoon snack as much as my practical breakfast. I must say that I need an extra protein with this if I know I can not eat until late midday so I boil and egg, too.
