Ingredients

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat flour

3 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice I use allulose, see notes

4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
6 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, and cinnamon. Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup and mix until combined.
Transfer the cereal mixture onto the lined baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, mixing and stirring halfway through.
Remove the cereal from the oven and let it cool completely, before breaking it apart.

Notes

TO STORE: Low calorie granola should be stored at room temperature in a sealed container. Granola will keep well for up to 4 weeks.

TO FREEZE: Place the granola in a ziplock bag and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Recipe variations

Cut the sugar. Save some grams of sugar by swapping the maple syrup for sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey.
Add fiber. High-fiber cereals are great for making you feel full without packing extra calories. I like to have my cereal with fresh blueberries and strawberries, plus nuts, chia seeds, or flax seeds for even more fiber.
Or more protein. Use high-protein milk (I like Fairlife) or serve the cereal over nonfat Greek yogurt for an extra 13-20 grams of protein.
