Banting Granola

Homemade Granola Recipe – Quick, Easy & Tasty

This Banting granola is not only really easy to make, but provides you with a great snack or healthy muesli cereal for breakfast.

Whilst this Banting muesli, or homemade granola, is low-carb & basically sugar free, the Xylitol (which is a natural sweetener and better for you than sugar), apple puree and the raisins in this recipe can be left out.

Therefore, if you’re diabetic, or pre-diabetic, it would probably be best to exclude the Xylitol and limit the amount of raisins and sultanas you put in.

Other than that you will still have one of the easiest & tastiest homemade granola recipes.

Furthermore, having a healthy Banting muesli option for breakfast provides a welcome break from all the egg breakfast recipes those of us on the Banting diet seem to be stuck with.

In our family we snack on this homemade granola at any time of the day especially in the evenings in front of the TV.

You can also fit this Banting Muesli breakfast cereal option into the this 7-Day Banting Meal Plan.
