Granola can be a bit of a sneaky carb bomb, so it's not the best choice for strict keto diets. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole—there are tastier low-carb options out there!

Granola is usually high in carbs due to the oats and added sugars, so it's not typically recommended for a keto diet, which focuses on low-carb intake. However, you can make a keto-friendly version using low-carb nuts and seeds like almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds, along with keto-approved sweeteners like erythritol or stevia. Just be mindful of portion sizes to stay within your carb limit.

I think enjoying granola on a keto diet is possible, though you'll need to be mindful of ingredients and portion sizes. Opt for a homemade version with nuts , seeds , and coconut flakes , and limit or omit higher-carb ingredients like dried fruits and honey .
