Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Chop the nuts coarsely in a food processor or with a sharp knife. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- Spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Be sure to set a timer. Nuts and seeds are heat sensitive and should not get burned.
- Remove from the oven and stir the mixture, then return to the oven for about 20 minutes more. Check again. When the granola feels almost dry, turn off the heat and let the granola cool in the residual heat of the cooling oven.
- Serve the granola with full-fat Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of vanilla powder and maybe some additional heavy cream. The granola is very nutritious and filling. A third to half a cup (1 dl) will go a long way.

I haven't asked the recipe team but I think they try to avoid using small and large numbers like:
600 ml (6 dl)
0,15 dl (15 ml)
1. The granola serving size is not precise.
2. The serving includes the yoghurt.
If one if tracking their serving portions, especially on an app, then the precise serving size (e.g. "40 grams) is more helpful. Also, including the yoghurt skews the information because you might not be having it with yoghurt and/or the yoghurt information is not specific to a particular brand.
The 1 Tbsp. of turmeric does give it a very nice subtle flavor, not overpowering at all.
I also had to cook mine much longer and then let dry in the oven for a couple hours after I turned it off.
Since beginning this way of eating (and using sooo many of Diet Doctor's recipe's) I've found that buying a scale that will switch between Standard and Metric invaluable!
I think we have stopped using deciliters.
One US table spoon is 14.8 ml and one UK table spoon is 15 ml. That's pretty much the same. ;-)
mixed with heavy cream. 38 pct fat is much higher than the 10 percent found in Greek yoghurt, and since you are eating less you get less carps. I understand that “créme fraîche is a European thing, and that it is hard to find the 38 percent version in the US.

Thank you.
Thanks for reply :)
Thanks for a reply!
The turmeric is maybe a tad too much, so I'll lessen it next time....but it's good for you
The only thing with this recipe, is it would be good to see the Nutritional Table....but hey all's good
Because I do keto i add cream and little Stevia or honey over the top!!
This recipe is written to make 20 servings. For each serving, you can use 1/2 c yogurt.
Yes, that would work. You can weigh the total batch that you make and divide by the number of servings you are making to get the specific portion size. For the greek yogurt, choose the option in your local store with the fewest carbs and highest amount of fat as that can vary by location.
I have mixed nuts. Is that okay? I can't have sesame seeds can I leave that and pumpkin seeds out?
Thank you for your recipes.
If your mixed nuts have peanuts or cashews, the net carb count will end up being higher than what we've shown. Make sure and keep an eye on that.
This recipe as written makes 20 servings. The most accurate way to figure out the serving size is to weigh the total batch and divide by 20 (most kitchen scales have a tare feature where you can eliminate the weight of the bowl). You can access the total carb count by clicking the nutrition+ tab under the list of ingredients and add the fiber and net carbs together.
