Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe

Pumpkin Spice granola may not be entirely keto but it’s definitely a great low-carb fall snack! With a variety of nuts and seeds, you’ll want to snack on this all day long!

I wanted to come up with a pumpkin spice granola that would be easy to snack on without the guilt. As much as I brainstormed, I couldn’t quite figure out how to turn this yummy treat into a keto one. Since oats just don’t work on keto, I compromised by making it as low in carbs as possible.

If you are in need of a Keto fall dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, these Pumpkin Spice Brownies are everything! 

The nice thing is the holidays are a perfect time to cut yourself a little slack. So, fill up your favorite jar, toss this low-carb pumpkin spice granola into your purse, and go on a hay ride.

Or, sprinkle this granola on your morning smoothie bowl or in your Keto ice cream!

You may have noticed that I’m a bit pumpkin obsessed. From pumpkin spa nights, to pumpkin drinks and canned pumpkin recipes, it’s a surprise I haven’t turned orange already.

Even my toddler can be found munching on a pumpkin donut hole or Pumpkin Spice Cheerios. I mean, why not fully immerse yourself in the season? Ahh, I can smell that delicious spice calling my name!

Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Granola

This low-carb granola can be Keto depending on your daily carb intake. However, I wouldn't exactly call it Keto.

This recipe is for a single serving so it's easy to double, triple, or just make as much as you want or need to use. 

What makes this a low-carb granola?

The secret to make it lower in carbs is to go heavy on the nuts and seeds and add just a teeny bit of dried fruit. This way, you still have the traditional taste of granola. Additionally, use a high ratio of nuts to oats.

What about the syrup?

To sweeten it up, I used a Keto “maple” syrup. You can buy a bottle on Amazon or just make your own like I did.

It's basically a combination of water and erythritol + some maple extract that tastes almost like the real deal.

The syrup recipe is below. Typically, we make a big batch and refrigerate it to use in other recipes or meals.

How to Store Granola:

Finally, the granola lasts for around 2 weeks and should be stored in an air tight container.
